Roslin Bioinformatics - VIPER
Downloading the application
VIPER is freely available under terms of our licence.
You are recommended to install VIPER automatically using Java Web Start, or you can download the application JAR file and run from command line or using appropriate memory settings available in the script files. Mac users may alternatively download a bundled App. (See Running VIPER for instructions.)
For checking large datasets you should use the highest memory available on your system, unfortunately 32-bit Windows architecture can only use a maximum of 1G RAM for Java applications.
Java Web start links
You are recommended to run the version with the highest memory available. Attempting to start the application with higher memory than allowed by your system will fail to start the Java virtual machine - try a lower setting. Users of Windows 64 bit architecture may experience problems with the 32-bit version of Java being wrongly associated with Web Start applications (see help).
