Download and Install Apollo Genome Annotation Curation Tool
Version 1.11.6 (May, 2010)
Available Installers
Windows Instructions:
Instructions
- If you already have an earlier version of Apollo installed, use
"Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to remove the old version before installing the new one.
- After downloading the installer, double-click
"Apollo_windows.exe" or "Apollo_windows_with_jre.exe" depending on which version you downloaded.
Notes
- If you're having trouble running Apollo from the installer (with all the different Windows versions and configurations out there, the installer sometimes has trouble setting the executable), download apollo_batch.zip, unzip the file, and put
apollo.bat in the bin directory inside the directory where Apollo was installed. Then run the batch file to launch Apollo.
Mac OS X Instructions:
Instructions
- After downloading the installer, double-click
"Apollo_macos" (which should have appeared on your Desktop).
Notes
- If you are on Mac OS X version 10.4 or higher, you should install JDK1.5, if you don't already have it. Please see Apple's instructions on how to do this, using Software Updates.
- If you've previously installed Apollo, you should remove the old version before installing the new one. The easiest way to do this it to find the Apollo folder (usually it's in Applications) and move it to the trash. Do the same with the Apollo icon (otherwise you may end up with two!)
