Binary distribution (ZIP file, 2.4 Mb)isaviz-bin-1_0a.zip

You will also need to download graphviz/dot for your specific platform (version 1.7.6 or later, but version 1.8.1 is strongly recommended).

Finally, as IsaViz is implemented in Java, it requires a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) 1.3.0 or later (1.4.0 or later strongly recommended - see Known problems) since the GUI makes extensive use of Java2D which featured poor performances in JVM 1.2.x. The latest JVM from Sun can be downloaded at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/

Documentation

Installation instructions contain information on how to install and configure IsaViz, including requirements for additional software versions. You should read these as they contain important instructions regarding GraphViz/dot which is not included in the distribution.

A user manual describing all features of IsaViz is also available.
