Linux

We’ve not tested it on Linux. The updates should work. Please let us know how it all runs – support@selmaware.com

MacOS

We tried to make an installer download that MacOS would like. We failed – Apple would not ‘notarize’ the EXE installer file to make it allowable to download and run. We are making the source code available for building locally (any platform).

1. Download the zip (you may need to extract it)
http://www.selmaware.com/sandbox/HydraulicsSandbox.zip

2. Download and install Processing 3 – Free Java Software.

3. Open HydraulicsSandbox.pde – it should use Processing 3 to open it.
4 files should open in the application

4. Run to test - Test it by ‘running’ it (the play button)

5. Export to an EXE - FileàExport Application to build your EXEs

6. Distribute the exported files locally with flash drives.

Updates must be checked for on this page manually.

Thanks, we hope it helps in your educational endeavors!
