DES Visualization Tools Download Page

This page has three versions of our DES Visualization prototype software: Windows, Linux and MacOS.

• Click here to download the Windows version.
  This version is a self-extracting one with name DES-Windows.exe.
  1. Download this file to a selected directory and run it by double-clicking on its icon.
  2. This program will run, create a directory DES-Windows, and save all files to this directory.
  3. Double-click the program DesVisual to run it.
• Click here to download the Linux version.
  This version is a standard Unix tar.gz file with name DesVisual.tar.gz.
  1. Download this file to a selected directory.
  2. The standard Unix way to uncompress and untar this file is to run the following commands

     gzip -d *.gz; tar xvf *.tar
     

  3. A binary executable DesVisual will be created in the selected directory. This is the DES Visualization program.
• Click here to download the MacOS version.
  This version is a standard zip file with name DesVisual.zip. However, the MacOS version requires some extra work to be installed properly.
  1. Download this file to a selected directory.
  2. The standard Unix way to uncompress this file is to run the following command

     unzip *.zip
     

  3. This will create several directories. The DES Visualization software is in DesVisual.app/Contents/MacOS/DesVisual.
  4. However, you need one more step because the Qt library is not provided. Use the following link to download Qt: http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1.dmg. After this, DesVisual should work properly.
