Features
System Requirements
The current version of CellDesigner requires Java2 Runtime Environment (JRE1.5.0 or later) on
- Windows (XP or later)*
- MacOSX (10.4 or later)**
- Linux with X Window System ( Fedora Core 4 or later) ***
*On WIndows "VISTA", the installer is for 32 bit version.
**On MacOSX 10.4 or later, Java 1.5.0_03 or later is required. On Mac OS X 10.3, Java 1.4.2_05 or later is required.
*** On Linux platform, due to the version of native libraries, Fedora Core 4 or later is recommended; some problems will arise if you use other than these.
The installer includes JRE (Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07-b03), so you do not have to install Java before your installation.
If SBW and its modules have already been installed, these modules are available. Especially time evolving simulation of editing models can be performed.
Install
1. Install SBW and SBW modules
If you are interested in time evolving simulation and analysis on biochemical networks, we recommend you to install the Systems Biology Workbench (SBW) and SBW-powered software before you install CellDesigner (*).
Please check http://sys-bio.org/ and download the software from Software Downloads section.To install SBW and SBW-powered software, follow their installation instructions.
If you would like to use CellDesigner alone right now, you can postpone this step until you need simulation and/or analysis.
(*) As of July, 2008, SBW 2.7.7 is available for Windows, 2.7.6 for MacOSX and Linux.
For details on SBW information: http://sys-bio.org/research/sbwIntro.htm(**) Note: In case you have installed SBW 2.7.6 or later, and you encounter an error while installing CellDesigner, there might be a possibility that the C++ Broker is up which prevents CellDesigner to start. Please try to kill the broker using the Task Manager, or restart your system before you resume the
2. Install CellDesigner
Download the one for your operating system and follow instructions provided in 00READEME.txt or Startup Guide to install CellDesigner for each environment.
The current release is distributed in archived installer package for each operating system.
- Windows: CellDesigner-40-windows-installer.exe
- MacOSX: CellDesigner-4.0-osx-installer.zip
- Linux: CellDesigner-4.0-linux-installer.bin
* While J2RE is required for CellDesigner to run, the installers include it. Therefore, you do not need to download or install J2RE.
If you encounter the following error when you start CellDesigner on Windows platform
"Javaw.exe - entry point not found."
This error occurs when you have installed different libsbml on your Windows.
Both CellDesigner 4.0 uses libsbml-3. To solve this problem, there are 2 ways as follows:
- 1. Uninstall libsbml
This might work, but it may cause a problem if you have a software tool which requires that version of libsbml.- 2. Modify the registry on your Windows as follows:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx
(Set the value of SafeDllSearchMode to 0)If both of them didn't work for you, please also check whether you have xerces-c_2_7.dll under C:\Windows\systems32. If so, please remove the dll and restart CellDesigner.
3. Install Copasi
COPASI （http://www.copasi.org/）is a software application for simulation and analysis of biochemical networks. COPASI is free for Non－Commercial Use. If you want to use COPASI with CellDesigner, setup COPASI as follows:
- Visit the Copasi web site at http://www.copasi.org/.
- Download the Language Binding for Java (e.g. copasi-java-buildxx-win32.zip for Windows 32bit).
- Extract the downloaded file.
- In the extracted folder, find
- CopasiJava.dll for Windows.
- libCopasiJava.jnilib for MacOS X.
- libCopasiJava.so for Linux.
- Copy the file into the CellDesigner’s root folder

File Compatibilities
When you read the files created by lower version of CellDesigner, CellDesigner 4.0 validates the file using libSBML consistency check utility.
- Open a file created by lower version of CellDesinger.
- Compartment's size attributes are automatically updated.
- File conversion needed dialog is open.
"The file seems to be created by lower version of CellDesigner.
Do you want to convert this model to work with the current version?" - The file is converted and open with CellDesigner4.0.
Note: File compatibilities Due to the CellDesigner 4.0 new notation scheme,
the following components are no longer supported.
