Starting November 17, 2005, Atlantis is distributed with the ATLAS software release. It is available as executables "atlantis" (full version) and "atlantis_beginner" (version with a limited set of GUI options).
N.B.: Note, however, that Atlantis does not depend on any ATLAS software, only JAVA is needed to run it.
See the Download page of the Atlantis website for directions how to get Atlantis. See the Install page for directions to run Atlantis on Linux, Mac and MS-Windows systems.
A tag is used in the Atlantis run command to indicate normal events (no tag), Fast Simulation events (tag=Fast), Combined Test Beam events (tag=TB) or a beginner's version with a limited set of GUI options (tag=BEGINNER).
To change the upper limit of the Atlantis internal work memory see 2.6. Work memory limit.
N.B.: Atlantis versions require JAVA version 1.4 or higher to run. However, JAVA version 1.5 is preferred and is currently used for development.
