This is an old revision of the document!
Starting 2016, the CAPRI model shall be made more accessible to the scientific community by the provision of supported stable releases, a.k.a. Stars. The first Star was published at the end of November. The idea behind the Star is to provide a well tested version of the model, that does not change over time save for maintenance releases addressing critical issues. The release notes are updated in a cumulative fashion.
From release 2.0 we decided to make all releases of CAPRI publicly available without going through a developer. Please refer to the release notes for more information about each release.
Users that have participated in the CAPRI training courses will have access to the code base and the model via the Subversion Numbering system (SVN), and the instructions here do not apply to such users. They should point their SVN client to the tags “STAR_N.N” on the SVN server to obtain the release versions (N.N) of CAPRI.
Please refer to the release notes for more information about each release.
The model code contains all raw data and routines for building the CAPRI data sets needed to run the system. However, doing so can be tedious, technical and error prone. Here, we therefore provide a standard data base for selected releases.
Data bases for selected releases, doing away with the need to build all databases if extracted into the *results* directory of your model installation.
CAPRI requires that you have a windows computer with Java runtime environment (64-bit) and GAMS (distribution 24.7 or later, http://www.gams.com) installed. You need a license for the CONOPT solver.
Using CAPRI requires extensive knowledge of how the system works. Please look out for CAPRI training courses on the page of upcoming events. The following bare-bone instructions may nevertheless be sufficient to get the system up and technically running.
Now you need to build all databases of CAPRI. This takes a very long time. Depending on the hardware you use, it can take up to several days.
