Install
If you would like to play along – and please do – in advance of lecture please visit gephi.org and install the software on your own laptop.
Note: The current stable version of Gephi will only run with Java 7 or 8. On Mac OS X, Java is bundled with the application so it doesn’t have to be installed separately. On Windows and Linux, the system must be equipped with Java.
Installation instructions are available on the download page: https://gephi.org/users/install/
Test your Gephi Install by launching Gephi and choosing to open ‘Les Miserables.gexf’ from the screen presented.
