Download
INSEL is now freeware: it can be downloaded, copied and used at no cost.
Windows
Install Insel V8.3.1.0b x64.exe.
Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint
Deb packages have been compiled on Ubuntu 20.04, and should run on Debian 11 or newer, Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, and Linux Mint 20.3 or newer.
- Desktop version, with graphical interface: insel_8.3.1.0b_x64_full.deb.
- Server version, without graphical interface: insel_8.3.1.0b_x64.deb.
Docker
Web-INSEL is a docker image with INSEL GUI in a browser.
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:4711:5800 inseleu/web-insel:latest
should start a Docker container with INSEL. The GUI is available at http://localhost:4711 :
It could be convenient in order to quickly test INSEL or make it available on a server, e.g. for lessons. It could also help if INSEL isn't available for the platform, e.g. on Apple Silicon.
Here's an example docker-compose.yml
, with a volume in order to keep models between restarts:
services:
web_insel:
image: "inseleu/web-insel"
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: web-insel
environment:
KEEP_APP_RUNNING: 1
USER_ID: 1234
GROUP_ID: 1234
# DISPLAY_WIDTH: 1600
# DISPLAY_HEIGHT: 1200
ports:
- 127.0.0.1:4711:5800
volumes:

macOS
Very buggy and experimental
macOS is getting harder and harder to support. Bugs are expected, and INSEL will not work on Apple Silicon.
Sorry!
INSEL on Docker could be an alternative instead.
- Install Homebrew :
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
- Install gcc :
brew install gcc
- Install INSEL core : insel_8.3.0.5b_x64.pkg, with "Right-click > Open".
- The graphical interface of INSEL is not required for SimStadt. It can be installed with : INSEL-8.3.dmg.
- The GUI can be marked as being safe with :
sudo xattr -rds com.apple.quarantine /Applications/INSEL.app
