General

Do I need an active Internet connection to install TUMAS?

No. You do not need to have an internet connection in order to run TUMAS.
However, certain part of TUMAS such as the mapping module which relies on Google Map will not work as long as you are not connected.

How do I uninstall TUMAS from my computer?

In Microsoft Windows, if you installed TUMAS using the installer, you can uninstall TUMAS by going to the Add/Remove programs component of your Control panel, selecting TUMAS from the list and clicking on Uninstall.
For other platforms, or if your opted to download the archive distribution of TUMAS, you just need to delete the folder in which you extracted the archive.
After TUMAS has been uninstalled, some TUMAS files will remain on your computer: the TUMAS folder in which TUMAS stored its source scenarios and the management options you have created will remain on your computer.
Some TUMAS log files will also be stored on the user’s home directory.

Windows

Do I need to install Java in order to run TUMAS on Windows?

No. If you downloaded the standalone installer of TUMAS for Windows, you do not need to install Java to run TUMAS. This version includes everything it needs to execute TUMAS.
However, if you downloaded one of the archive distribution files, you will need to install a compatible Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit on your computer.

Linux

Do you plan to distribute TUMAS as a Linux application?

Yes. We will package TUMAS as a proper Linux application as soon as possible.
We plan to provide TUMAS as a RPM file because, in OFP, we mainly use versions of Linux that are compatible with the Red Hat distribution. We may add support for other distributions later if there is a demand and if we have sufficient resources to do it.

MacOS

Why do I need to install the JDK and not the JRE when running TUMAS on Mac OS X?

This is due to a limitation in the way the JRE works on Mac OS. For some reason of their own, Oracle decided that you cannot call the java interpreter from the command line if only the JRE is installed on this platform. You can only do that if the JDK is installed.

Do you plan to distribute TUMAS as a Mac application?

Yes. We will package TUMAS as a proper Mac app and with a proper DMG installer as soon as possible. When this becomes a reality, you will not need to install the JDK to run TUMAS anymore.

Is it possible to run simulations on Mac OS X?

No. As the MULTIFAN-CL model does not support Apple Mac OS X yet, creating or editing scenarios are disabled when running TUMAS on this platform.
We will release a version of TUMAS that supports these features on Mac OS X as soon as a version of MULTIFAN-CL that works on this platform becomes available.

What are the limitations when running TUMAS on Mac OS X?

The main limitation is that you cannot run or edit simulations because the MULTIFAN-CL model does not run on this platform.
Additionally, due to the way Java runs on Mac OS X, you cannot print when TUMAS runs on Mac OS X. This will be fixed in a future release.
