Oasys Software Downloads

Current Software Versions:

Prior to the next full release of the Oasys software suite, which will be 9.3, the following latest quality assurance tested versions of the individual programs are available.

What do I need to download?

If you are building a new installation from scratch:

Download and install either the Oasys Suite 9.2.3 or the Oasys 9.3RC Suite bundle. (If you want to use Oasys REPORTER then you will have to download the 9.2.3 Suite and then upgrade to the 9.3RC Suite as the 9.3RC Suite does not yet contain REPORTER).

If you want to upgrade an existing installation of 9.2.3 to the latest versions of all the software:

Download and install Oasys Suite 9.3RC bundle only.

If you just want the latest version of a particular component of the suite (e.g. Primer):

Download and install just that RC update.

Notes

The Windows downloads are provided as single zipped install package. For installation instructions see below.

All of the UNIX/LINUX downloads are provided as single gzipped TAR file. For installation instructions see below.

All of the 9.3 RC versions have passed QA testing but do not have manuals and do not form a complete suite.

On most platforms downloads include both 32 and 64 bit versions of the software. Both versions use 32bit (single precision) numbers to store and plot data and have the same capabilities and features. The 32bit version is limited to a maximum of 4GB of memory on all platforms (3GB on windows); the 64bit version can access unlimited memory.

For advice on which LINUX version you should use, see Linux Version Notes below.

Advice on choosing Linux versions

If possible use a version that matches your operating system, but if this is not possible our experience is that:

• 32 bit versions are generally interchangeable, and the RH 7.3 (2.4 kernel) build appears to run on nearly everything.
• 64 bit versions require kernel 2.6 or later (ie RHE4 or SUSE 9 or later).

There is no functional difference between the versions of the software built on the various Linux platforms as they share identical source code so, for example, you will not lose any capabilities by choosing to run the 2.4 kernel version.

Subtle differences between libraries or patches installed on a system may mean that your experience differs from ours. The generally uncontrolled nature of Linux distributions means that we cannot predict exactly what will happen on a given system, which is why we make the different versions available. If you have problems please contact us for advice and help.
