Quick Start

The application as well as the present User Manual can be downloaded from the SpaceSuite Web page.

Currently, EDGE can be used on most 64bits Linux platforms and Microsoft Windows 10-11 64bits.

Starting Edge

Once downloaded, the zip file containing the EDGE snapshot has to be extracted on the machine where it will be used on to ensure that the software is executable.

On Windows systems, the native unzipping method may encounter issues when unzipping EDGE. You may want to use third-party application to avoid issues. The unzipping has been successfully tested with the 7Zip / NanaZip applications.

Linux

Double-clicking on the bin/Edge file launches the application.

To start the application, it is also possible to open a terminal and just execute bin/Edge in the application directory. It is then possible to indicate launching options, see the Command-line launching options paragraph below.

Windows

Double-clinking on the Edge.exe will launch the application.

To use more advanced launching options, you can open a command invite, go the EDGE folder and type Edge.exe. Options can be provided, see the Command-line launching options paragraph below.

Command-line launching options

It is possible to use options to launch EDGE. The options can be added (up to one at a time) after the launching command. To know all the available options, the option –h can be used (such as Edge -h or Edge.exe -h).

  • -f path/to/gdml/file.gdml: this option enables loading the given file directly in the application at start-up.
