This page describes how to get BioNetGen running in a few steps from your computer. To learn how to write, simulate, and analyze rule-based models, please see Documentation.

There are currently three ways to run BioNetGen.

Standalone version
  1. Obtain username and password by sending email to bionetgen@lanl.gov (you may suggest a preferred username in your email, or we will assign one).
  2. Go to the Installation Guide and follow the instructions for Mac, Linux, or PC.
  3. Current distribution only includes command-line interface, but the RuleBuilder GUI can be downloaded separately and is a good way to get started with rule-based modeling.
Web-based version
  1. Go to http://getbonnie.org and click on the 'Sign Up' button at the bottom of the 'Sign In' dialog box.
  2. Includes tools for model building, visualization, simulation tools, as well as sharing of models.
Online version at Virtual Cell
  1. Go to http://vcell.org/bionetgen BioNetGen@VCell web site and click on Run BioNetGen link on the right.
  2. Register if necessary (which involves completing a 1-page form, after which you will be granted immediate access) and click on the BioNetGen menu tab in the main Virtual Cell window.
  3. Export of BNG models to Virtual Cell allows spatial simulations using PDE's.
