McStas is available in source code form for Unix-like systems, as
well as precompiled versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The
new version has been tested on a variety of platforms,
but should compile also for most other Unix systems. An ANSI-C compiler
is required; GCC works well.
In case of difficulties, contact the McStas
administrator so that the problems may be solved in the next
version.
