Zero-install

Zip file (Windows only)

The Zero-install version allows you to run Prostar without installing R. It is currently available for Microsoft Windows only.

Download the zip file below and unzip it to the location of your choice. The unzipped folder contains an executable file (.bat) that launches Prostar directly in your browser. An internet connection is required on the first launch to complete the installation.

To ensure full compatibility and facilitate debugging, the newest version of the zip file may be released up to a few weeks after each Bioconductor release.
