[SOLVED] Two instances of gephi

[ndevanur]

Hi,

I wanted to know if we can run two instances of gephi at the same time ?

Gephi is based on the NetbeansPlatform, which defines the same default user directory (where it will store various information) at startup. It basically means that you can't run several instances of an application based on this platform, including gephi I think

Yet as far as I know, under linux you can change the value of the

Code: Select all

userdir

variable in the run script located in $GEPHI_DIR/bin to specify another user directory. Under windows I don't know how to do this.

Here is more information about that:

If you really want to run 2 Gephi instances you can use a virtual machine.
