The Repast IDE may be installed using the installers available via sourceforge.net or by setting up Eclipse manually and using the Repast Eclipse update site.
Windows Installer
The Windows executable installer will automatically install a complete Repast Simphony IDE. Note that Windows Vista has security permissions that may need to be changed (or you may need administrator privileges) to install Repast. The installer contains all required software components to run Repast.
OSX Zip Archive
The OSX zip archive contains a complete Repast IDE install similar to the Windows installer. Unzip the archive and move it into your Applications directory.
Linux
Please see the following section on setting up the Repast IDE using the update site.
Repast IDE Eclipse Update Site
The Repast IDE may be installed into an existing Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) installation using the Eclipse Software Update utility. This method is required to install Repast Simphony for all systems other than OSX and Windows, which may optionally use the update site rather than the installers.
First download and install Eclipse 3.4 Classic (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/). Under Help -> Software Updates...
Select "Add Site..." and enter http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/repastsimphony
Select the check box so that all elements are selected as shown and click "Install..."
The installer will check for project dependencies which may take a few minutes.
The installer presents a list of available features. Click Next.
Click the radio button to accept the license agreement and click Next.
The download may take several minutes depending on the network connection speed.
It is neccessary to restart Eclipse after the installation.
After Eclipse restarts, you may verify that the Repast IDE is installed correctly by selecting Help -> Software Updates... and see that the repast.simphony_feature is listed.
Updating Projects Created with Previous Versions of Repast Simphony.
Projects created with previous versions of Repast Simphony may be automatically updated to the current version. Import an existing project into the workspace, then right click on the project and select Repast Simphony -> Add Repast Simphony to this Project.
A dialog will appear asking for permission to overwrite existing launch scripts for your model. The launch scripts need to be updated to reflect some changes in the new version of Repast. Unless you have manually changed the launch scripts, it is recommended that you select "Yes" so that the launch scripts may be updated.
