Numerus Studio Quick Start Guide

Installation

  1. Visit https://www.numerusinc.com/studio and download the Mac or Windows installer.
Also download the Epidemiological RAMPs zip file and unzip to a working folder.
  1. Execute the installer and follow instructions.
  2. Launch the NMBStudio application.
On a Mac, do so by right-clicking the icon and select Open and select the Open override. Subsequent launches will only require a double-click. The first time you launch you may see a warning with an Open override. If necessary (on the Mac):
  • Open System Preferences / Security & Privacy and click on General.
  • Click on "Allow Anyway" to unblock the launch. This package contains a Java runtime and has been verified as malware free.
  • Any security queries regarding keystrokes can be denied.
Similarly, bypass any security warnings to open on Windows.

Running NMBStudio

On its first launch NMBStudio will produce a blank dashboard, as shown in Fig. 1.

From the menu select Files | Open Ramps... and navigate to the folder containing the 4 SIR Ramps. (You can select all 4 to open at the same time using the Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) key). Once loaded, the dashboard will include a launch button for each Ramp, as shown in Fig. 2. Subsequent launches of NMB Studio will produce the same dashboard.

Launching Ramps

Multiple independent instances of each Ramp can be launched and run concurrently. Dashboard colors will indicate those Ramps that have been launched (Fig. 3). Clicking on the Ramp entry in the dashboard will move all instances of that Ramp to the front of the display.

Managing Ramps

Ramps can be added using menu entries File | Open Ramps... or File | Recent Projects. To remove a Ramp launch plank from the Studio dashboard click the Delete button, then click the red icon on the plank to be removed (Fig. 4). Click the Done button when finished.
