Download and Installation

Neo/NST is developed mainly for Unix systems. Supported operating systems include Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X. The installation should be straight forward:

For Linux you will need OpenGL in order to start Neo. It should be included within your standard Linux distribution. If you can not find an OpenGL package on your system, have a look at the MESA homepage for more information. If you want to run large OpenGL applications using VTK, hardware accelerated OpenGL is highly desirable.
Select the appropriate files from below and save them to your disk.
Untar the files into your preferred directory, e.g. tar xvf nst7-linux.tar.gz -C /vol.
Read the README file and follow the instructions (alternatively, have a look at the getting started section).
You should now be ready to use Neo.
