Installation

Instructions for installing Opus and UrbanSim are available in html format.

• The instructions for the latest version are online at http://www.urbansim.org/docs/installation.

• If you have downloaded Opus from the CUSPA subversion repository, the instructions for the version installed on your system can be found in the directory opus_docs/installation/ in your Opus workspace (start with index.html).

• If you have downloaded Opus as a zip file, the instructions for the version installed on your system can be found in the directory docs/installation/ in the directory into which you unzipped the contents (start with index.html).

Opus and UrbanSim are intended to be platform-independent. We have successfully installed and used the system under the Windows, Linux, and Macintosh operating systems. These installation directions have been tested with Windows XP, SuSe Linux, and Macintosh OS X Version 10.4.5 with both PPC and Intel processors.

Opus and UrbanSim rely on numerous other open-source systems, in particular MySQL, Python, and a non-trivial set of Python packages. Opus and UrbanSim work with Python 2.4.3 or higher, and with MySQL 5.0 or 4.1.18.
