libSBML 5.18.0 installers for Mac OS X operating systems

Important: Before you install libSBML using these installers, please uninstall any existing copy of libSBML located in the same destination on your computer, or you may end up with mixed versions of different libSBML components on your system.

C, C++, C#, Java, Perl and Ruby installers

This directory contains installers for precompiled versions of libSBML for Mac OS X systems. They were built with the Apple-supplied version of the http://www.xmlsoft.org parser library, and include accepted SBML Level 3 packages plus interfaces for the following programming languages:

• C
• C++
• C# (Mono)
• Java
• Perl
• Ruby

By default, the installer will put libSBML into /usr. Detailed information about how to make libSBML accessible to your software is available on a separate web page.

R source package

A source package for the libSBML R interface is available here. This is not included in the main installers.

MATLAB interface

The main directory named "MATLAB interface" contains the standalone binaries for the MATLAB libSBML interface only. This is not included in the main installers.

Python installer

If you are primarily interested in Python, you can use the following command to install libSBML for Python:

sudo pip install python-libsbml

After you have installed the Python libSBML library, follow the instructions for how to access libSBML.

Javascript/PHP interfaces

We do provide support for these languages but it will be necessary to build them for your system (see Additional information below).

How to uninstall libSBML

To uninstall libSBML, please run the following command in your terminal:

sudo /usr/local/bin/uninstall-libsbml-pkg.sh

(If you chose to install libSBML into a directory tree other than /usr/local, then please look for the uninstall-libsbml-pkg.sh script in the bin directory of that alternate location.)

Additional information

If you need to use a different XML parser library, it will be necessary to build libSBML yourself from the source distribution using suitable configuration flags. The procedure is described in the libSBML documentation. The source and documentation are available from the top-level download directory, http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbml/files/libsbml/5.18.0.

For additional information about this version of libSBML, please see the documentation or visit the libSBML website.
