Required Software
- Java 1.6 or higher - A programming language and computing platform for developing cross platform (operating system) software. You can check your currently installed version here.
- Science of Science tool (Sci2) - A desktop application for information analysis and visualization.
- An image viewer capable of interpreting the PostScript visualization visualizations generated by the tool.
- Windows users may find that they have a commercial PostScript viewer from the Adobe Acrobat family already installed. Alternatively you Alternatively they may install the free interpreter Ghostscript and the free viewer GSview (both are required in this case).
- Other possible alternatives to investigate (thinking out loud, edit this away later):
- http://www.rampantlogic.com/psview/index.html A bundling of Ghostscript 8.61 as a single executable that forwards the generated PDF to the OS's default PDF reader. Reviewed pretty well on cnet.
- http://kb.iu.edu/data/afbn.html?cust=1244 mentions something called RoPS; its website isn't loading right now.
- The online service at http://view.samurajdata.se/ sorta works but isn't very convenient or pretty.

- Windows users may find that they have a commercial PostScript viewer from the Adobe Acrobat family already installed. Alternatively you Alternatively they may install the free interpreter Ghostscript and the free viewer GSview (both are required in this case).
