Blackledge practical preparation

This link contains some files we might use in the simulation, and a couple of reviews that cover what I will say.

Flexible Meccano on an NMRBox VM

Flexible Meccano is installed on NMRBox where you can use it via a VirtualBox virtual machine.

In order to do this you need to register with NMRBox (via a centralised platform called NMRHub) and then download the VM and VNC Viewer.

The participants should also copy the file linked to above to the NMRBox VM user account.

Local installation

Students may also wish to install the Flexible Meccano program, which is available for Mac and Unix, themselves from this link (scroll down the page to fill in license info in order to download to program). The program requires JDK 6 or greater.

This works for older platforms, however installation on more recent Linux and MacOS systems does not currently work unfortunately.
