Download IGV snapshot build

NOTE: This is the download page for the development version of IGV. This version of IGV:

• will contain features and code that have not been thoroughly tested;
• is updated frequently;
• is intended for advanced users only

The "IGV snapshot 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 "IGV snapshot for command line use" and use it with your own Java installation.

Mac apps are not provided for the IGV snapshot build. To run the snapshot build on a Mac:

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

2. Download the "IGV snapshot for command line use" 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 snapshot directory>/igv.sh.
   For example, if the IGV snapshot files are in /Users/jane/IGV_snapshot, enter /Users/jane/IGV_snapshot/igv.sh.
   Alternatively, enter cd /Users/jane/IGV_snapshot to go to that directory, and then ./igv.sh.
