Installation

This page describes how to set up and configure a local single-user OpenDC installation so that you can quickly get your experiments running. You can also use the hosted version of OpenDC to get started even quicker (The web server is however missing some more complex features).

  1. Supported Platforms

  2. Required Software
    A Java installation of version 19 or higher is required for OpenDC. You may download the Java distribution from Oracle or use the distribution provided by your package manager.
