Software
This page describes the software used in the workshop. You should download and install it on your computer before the workshop to ensure that it works correctly. This is especially important for people who are using corporate and particularly government computers: these computers may be set up in such a way that only an IT representative from your organization can install new software.
Also, most of the software we use is Windows-based. If you don't have a Windows machine, you may be able to run the software on an emulator, but this is definitely something you need to work out before you arrive, because few of us non-Windows experience.
UCINET (includes NetDraw)
Used in most of the workshop
Windows platform only
Download:
Not free, but runs for 90 days without a registration code. If someone has previously downloaded the program and the trial period has expired, we can refresh it for the workshop
Installing UCINET also installs helper program Netdraw.exe
The installation procedure creates a folder called UCINET DATA in the user’s Documents folder. This is the folder the user should use for workshop data
Instructions for using UCINET on a Mac or Linux machine using Wine can be found here.
