Installation

EVAnalyzer is distributed as a pre-built binary. No package manager or build toolchain is required to run the application.

System Requirements

Component	Requirement
Operating system	Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64, or Windows x86-64
Java JDK	Version 11 or later — required for Bio-Formats image reading
RAM	8 GB recommended (more for large whole-slide images)

macOS not supported

The current release targets Linux and Windows only. macOS support is not planned for the near future.

Linux additional libraries (GUI)

The GUI requires a few system libraries on Linux. Install them once with:

apt-get install libinput10 libxkbcommon0 libfontconfig1 libgbm1

Java

EVAnalyzer bundles a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is unpacked on first launch. You do not need a separate JDK installation for running the application — only for building from source.
