McIDAS-V runs on any platform that fully supports Java and Java 3D. Installers are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and McIDAS-V is tested and supported on all of these platforms. Other operating systems support the requirements in certain configurations, but have not been tested.<\/p>\n

Jar files and source code are available for software developers, but should only be used by experienced Java programmers. The scripting and formula capabilities within McIDAS-V will be sufficient for most McIDAS-V users.<\/p>\n

The current version of McIDAS-V is version 1.9 – in order to run McIDAS-V, there are certain minimum system requirements, as well as recommended configurations. If you are purchasing a new system for McIDAS-V, a 64 bit operating system with NVIDIA graphics card hardware and drivers is recommended. Performance will be better with faster processors and more memory. Please see the Complete System Requirements below for a list of all requirements and recommendations.<\/p>\n
