Installing and Running Command-Line breve on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows

The command-line version of breve allows you to run breve simulations from the command-line either with or without graphical display. The command-line version of breve is available for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows.

The command-line version of breve can be used to develop and run breve simulations just like the OS X breve Application or the breveIDE for Linux and Windows, but it is also especially useful for running breve simulations from shell scripts or from other programs. In this way, a breve simulation can be integrated into another program or scripting environment in order to perform some sort of simulation, and return the results.

When the command-line breve starts up in graphical mode, the simulation is paused: press the space-bar to begin the simulation. This behavior can be modified using the "-u" flag described later in this section.

[Note] For Windows and Linux Users

In order to run the command-line breve on Windows or Linux, you'll need to have OpenGL and GLUT libraries installed on your system. If you encounter problems running breve, you may need to install these libraries. They are freely available from the internet.
