BioDynaMo is a software platform to easily create, run, and visualise 3D agent-based simulations.
- Blazing fast: The core of the platform is written in C++ and is highly optimized to harness the computational power of modern hardware.
- Modular: Reuse, adapt, or create modules that represents a specific biological behavior or entity. With BioDynaMo you don't need to start from scratch anymore!
- Visual: Effortlessly create astonishing images and animations of your simulations. Your publications and presentations will stand out even more!
Simply run the following command:
curl https://biodynamo.org/install | bash

We recommend specifying the exact BioDynaMo version used in the methods section. For example:
We use BioDynaMo v1.01.115-e1088d4a (Breitwieser el al., 2021) for all simulations in this article.
The version can be obtained by executing biodynamo --version and can be interpreted as follows: vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-SHA
SHA is the git commit hash that can be used to check out the exact BioDynaMo version with git checkout SHA.
