To quickly install ArtiSynth from a precompiled release (recommended if you just want to try running some demos):

• Quick Installation Guide

To install ArtiSynth (and the artisynth_models package) from GitHub into the Eclipse IDE (recommended if you're interested in developing your own models):

• GitHub/Eclipse Installation for Windows (pdf)
• GitHub/Eclipse Installation for MacOS (pdf)
• GitHub/Eclipse Installation for Linux (pdf)

General installation guides that go into more detail covering precompiled releases, installation from GitHub, model development using Eclipse or the command line, integrating external models, and other topics:

• General Windows Installation (info|pdf)
• General MacOS Installation (info|pdf)
• General Linux Installation (info|pdf)

Note that the online documentation is kept (roughly) up-to-date for the current development version. For prepackaged releases, the documentation stored within the doc/html direction of the release itself should be more reliable.
