Software Requirements
To run geWorkbench you will need to have Sun Java J2SE 5.0 or higher installed on your computer (this is also refered to as the Java 1.5 JRE). If the JRE is not already installed on your computer you can get it from Sun's Java Web site, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. geWorkbench is downloaded as a self-installing package with support for Windows, Linux and MAC OS-X.
Hardware Requirements
Testing of geWorkbench is done on machines with 1 GB of memory and this is now a suggested minimum configuration, though the program will work for many tasks with 512 MB. Working with large datasets (100s of arrays) may require additional memory.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT LICENSE
Use of geWorkbench is governed by the rules specified in the software license. Please make sure to read the license and understand your obligations before proceeding to download the application.
Downloads
Up to date versions of geWorkbench (current version -> 1.0.5) and the geWorkbench Software Development Kit (current version -> 1.0.1) can be downloaded from the project page at NCI's GForge repository:
http://gforge.nci.nih.gov/frs/?group_id=78
If you wish to receive announcements about new application and SDK releases please subscribe to the mailing list geworkbench-announce@gforge.nci.nih.gov. Other available mailing lists are described in the Community section of our site.
Installation Instructions
You must have the Java 1.5 JRE installed before installing geWorkbench.
Windows Instructions:
- After downloading, double-click geWorkbench_v1.0.5_Windows_installer.exe
Mac OS X Instructions:
- After downloading, double-click geworkbench_v1.0.5_Mac_installer.zip
- Notes
- Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later
- The compressed installer should be recognized by Stuffit Expander and should automatically be expanded after downloading. If it is not expanded, you can expand it manually using StuffIt Expander 6.0 or later.
- If you have any problems launching the installer once it has been expanded, make sure that the compressed installer was expanded using Stuffit Expander.
Linux Instructions:
- After downloading open a shell and, cd to the directory where you downloaded the installer.
- At the prompt type: sh ./geWorkbench_v1.0.5_Linux_installer.bin
Please see the Known Issues section of you experience problems with installing or running under Linux.
Tutorial data
tutorial_data.zip (3.586 MB) - data files in several different formats useful for the tutorials or just trying out geWorkbench.
webmatrix2.zip (5.647 MB) - a large (100 array) microarray dataset in the geWorkbench matrix format. Data is from the lab of Riccardo Dalla-Favera, Columbia University, and is provided only for use in learning and testing geWorkbench.
Training Slides
A set of PowerPoint training slides has been created which covers the basics of using geWorkbench plus several of the more advanced modules, such as Network Reverse Engineering and annotation retrieval. The PowerPoint presentation is stored as a Zip file. It follows the outline structure specified in the caBIG training guidelines.
