To install and update BioDynaMo execute the following command.

curl https://biodynamo.org/install | bash

This will also install all prerequisites, including ROOT, ParaView and Qt5. By default the installation directory is set to $HOME/biodynamo-vX.Y.Z, where X.Y.Z is the version number.


Important

In every new terminal execute source <installation-directory>/bin/thisbdm.sh to use BioDynaMo, where <installation-directory> is the BioDynaMo installation directory.
To do this automatically for every shell, put this in your .bashrc or .zshrc.
