Virtual Cell - Technical Documents

National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling

Technical Requirements

The Virtual Cell software is a Java Application. You need to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later. If you do not have Java, your computer will most likely prompt you to save the jnlp (Java Web Start) file since it does not recognize the file type. Once Java is installed, your computer will recognize the application and bring you to the Virtual Cell login screen.

If you should encounter any difficulties, please contact Virtual Cell Support.
