We provide automated builds of the Jalview Desktop and JalviewJS from Jalview’s main development branch so you can try out new features as they are being developed, and let us know if they can be improved.

To run a development build:

You can also browse the latest development build on our build server.

Please remember development builds haven’t been thoroughly tested, so you probably shouldn’t be using them to produce analyses or figures for publication. You might instead want to try Jalview Test if you need features scheduled for the next release.

Installing Jalview Develop

The Jalview Develop App installs and runs as a separate application along side Jalview, in the same way as Jalview Test. When launched, it updates from the Jalview Develop channel (read about channels here). When first launched, it will read your ~/.jalview_properties, but afterwards uses its own settings at ~/.jalview_develop_properties, so your regular Jalview preferences are preserved.

You can find links for installation instructions in the notes for your platform or different ways of running Jalview Develop in the table above. Some of these are the same instructions for the other native Jalview Apps, but should still work.

Other ways to install/launch Jalview Develop

You can install Jalview Develop in a number of ways other than the main desktop installer. You may find one of the methods below suits your needs better. Jalview Develop is compiled for Java 11 so you will need a Java 11 JVM for the executable JAR.
