What's new in this release
Not sure which file you need? On Windows, take the standard build unless you own an NVIDIA RTX 50-series (Blackwell) card — the standard build covers NVIDIA cards of Compute Capability 3.5 and up, but not Blackwell. On a Mac, take Apple Silicon for any M-series machine and Intel for anything older. Everything else is a mirror of the same file — use whichever of Dropbox or Google Drive works better for you.

Installation

Getting it running

The first launch takes a while on every platform — the MATLAB Runtime unpacks and configures itself. Let it finish.

Windows

  1. Download and extract the ZIP file.
  2. Run the installer inside it.
  3. Launch BiggSky. The first start is slow while the runtime configures — this is normal and happens once.

macOS

  1. Download and extract the ZIP file.
  2. Ctrl-click the .app file and choose Open, then confirm — this overrides the Gatekeeper warning. Double-clicking will not work the first time.
  3. Be patient on first launch while the runtime files configure.

Linux

  1. Install the MATLAB Runtime first — it is a separate 4.5 GB download.
  2. Unpack and run the installer: 
    sudo gunzip -X -K BiggSkyAppInstaller_web_LinuxIntel_beta_v0_6_0.install.gz
sudo ./BiggSkyAppInstaller_web_LinuxIntel_beta_v0_6_0.install
  3. Adjust the filename to match the version you downloaded.

Trial and licensing

How the trial works

The trial is the full application for 30 days. Nothing is disabled, nothing is watermarked, and no payment details are taken to start it.

Request a key at biggsky.com/activate, or press Get Demo License on the License tab inside BiggSky. Paste the key in, press Validate, and you are running. There is no account and no password.

The 30 days begin when you validate the key, not when you request it — so requesting one early costs you nothing.

When the trial ends BiggSky switches to Free mode: everything you have already processed still opens, views and exports. Your work is never locked away.
