For Linux users:

The "IGV for Linux" download includes AdoptOpenJDK (now Eclipse Temurin) version 21 for x64 Linux. See their list of supported platforms here. If your platform is not on the "x64 Linux" list, or the packaged Java does not work on your version of Linux, download the "Command line IGV for all platforms" and use it with your own Java installation.

For Mac users:

Mac apps are not provided for the IGV 3.0 Beta. To run IGV 3.0 Beta on a Mac:

  1. Make sure you have Java 21 or greater installed. You can download Java from Adoptium or Oracle.

  2. Download the "Command line IGV for all platforms" version and unzip the downloaded distribution file to a directory of your choice. You will see that several launcher scripts are provided in the distribution. The Mac version is named igv.sh.

  3. Open a Terminal window and enter <Full path to the IGV 3.0 Beta directory>/igv.sh.
    For example, if the IGV 3.0 Beta files are in /Users/jane/IGV_3.0_Beta, enter /Users/jane/IGV_3.0_Beta/igv.sh.
    Alternatively, enter cd /Users/jane/IGV_3.0_Beta to go to that directory, and then ./igv.sh.
