In the future, you can get the latest Bio-SPHERE source packages here. I am currently working hard on a first alpha version, hopefully to be released at the end of march.
Bio-SPHERE Source Code
Installing from the source code is a great solution for when you are comfortable enough with your platform and perhaps need specific settings for your environment. It is also a good solution in the event that there are no other premade packages for your platform or if you want to make your own tweaks and additional modules.
No Releases Yet
You can build Bio-SPHERE using the following standard commands:
% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install
For information about the Bio-SPHERE Subversion repository,
see the Sourceforge page here.
The subversion command to do a SVN checkout is as follows:
svn co https://biosphere.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/biosphere/trunk biosphere
Bio-SPHERE On Linux And Unix
Bio-SPHERE was developed on a Ubuntu platform but should compile without problems on any Linux platform. It makes heavy use of the cross-platform Apache Portable Runtime which has been ported to many platforms.
Bio-SPHERE On OS X
As Mac OS X is largely based on UNIX, it should compile without any problems. Bio-SPHERE was also developed partly on Mac OS X.
Bio-SPHERE On Windows
As Bio-SPHERE is primarily designed for a POSIX environment, such as Linux, Unix or Mac OS X, there is currently no Windows port in the making. This may change in the future though.
Note: it should be possible to build and use Bio-SPHERE on Windows using an environment such as MingW. I have not tested such a setup as of yet.
