Are You an End-user or a Developer?

While it is an oversimplification, for the purposes of this workbook, users of GLAST software can be said to fall into one of two categories: end-users or developers. In this case, end-user refers to a user who is interested only in running simulations and analyzing data; developer refers to one who wishes to modify code and/or develop new code.

End-user Installations

End-user Public Installations

End-users who do not want to download and maintain software on their desktops can take advantage of Public Installations maintained at the University of Washington (for Windows) and at SLAC (for Unix).

• GLAST collaborators using Windows: http://glast.phys.washington.edu/.

• GLAST collaborators using a Linux/Unix machine (or Windows machine with a terminal window and an x-server): slacPublicInstallation.htm.

End-user Desktop Installations

If you wish, you may also download a GLAST Binary Distribution package which includes all files necessary to run simulations and reconstructions, independent of the public installations.

If downloading the binaries for GlastRelease or EngineeringModel, please refer to:

	End-user Linux Desktop Install: GlastRelease or EngineeringModel
or
	End-user Windows Desktop Install: GlastRelease or EngineeringModel

If downloading the binaries for ScienceTools, please refer to:

	End-user Linux Desktop Installation: ScienceTools
or
	End-user Windows Desktop Installation: ScienceTools

Developer Installations

If you are a developer (i.e., if you intend to further develop Gleam - or if you need to obtain associated packages that are not available with the binary distribution of Gleam), you will need to access the SLAC CVS repository directly; please refer to:
