Running Panbiotracks

Panbiotracks is a standalone executable, so it is unnecessary to "install". Be aware that you need to run it from within a terminal (console) window. If you simply double-click on it, it will open a window and close it immediately. Finally, Panbiotracks is not an interactive program. This means that you need to enter the desired options and input files at runtime for it to run.

Running Panbiotracks on GNU/Linux

To run Panbiotracks on GNU/Linux, you need first to give the program the appropriate permissions. To do so, open a terminal window in the directory where you downloaded Panbiotracks and enter the following command (this assume that you've already uncompressed the downloaded file):

chmod +x panbiotracks

After this you will be able to execute the software.

Running Panbiotracks on Windows

Since the Windows version is a standalone EXE file, you don't need to do anything special. Simply open a CMD or PowerShell window in the folder where you downloaded it and run the executable from there. Note that the method to do this differs a little if you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11:

Windows 10

Open a Windows Explorer instance, navigate to the folder where you downloaded Panbiotracks, and click on File, then in "Open Windows PowerShell".

Windows 11

Open a Windows Explorer instance, navigate to the folder where you downloaded Panbiotracks, and right-click on an empty area of the window. Then, in the context menu, click on "Open in Windows Terminal" or "Open PowerShell window here".
