Mac users: rNMR requires a two-button mouse (CTRL+"click" is not sufficient). On most systems, the mouse/trackpad can be configured to operate with a second button, check your system settings. Also, rNMR is only compatible with versions of Mac OS X that come with X11 preinstalled (version 10.5 and higher). rNMR may run on older versions if X11 is installed separately, but we can not gaurantee its performance.

Linux users: rNMR is supported the Linux distributions listed below.

rNMR may run on other distributions but we can not gaurantee its performance.

Please refer to the rNMR manual for information on using rNMR.
