I have added new installers to SimTK SimVascular Downloads. Each installer has notes that describe any additional system libraries that may need to be installed for SimVascular to run. Installers are provided for Ubuntu 22 and 24 and MacOS ARM and Intel.</div>

There is currently no plan to provide a native Windows SimVascular version since we believe that Windows users can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run SimVascular. If you are having problems using WSL then please let us know and we will work with you
to get you up and running.</div>
