Warning!

The Gaggle requires Java 1.5.   If Java is not installed on your computer,
or if only an older version is installed, the Gaggle will not run.
See Java installation instructions here.

Start the Boss, and two other Geese

To explore the SampleGoose, it makes sense to run it in a gaggle with a few other geese. The sample gaggle shown below can broadcast and receive all of the message types used in the gaggle.

• Boss   (start this first!, wait for it to appear before proceeding.)
• A small yeast network
• A small yeast microarray dataset

Run the SampleGoose

Linux, Mac OS X, or Solaris:

 java -cp goose.jar:jnlp.jar:./classes/ org.systemsbiology.gaggle.geese.sample.SampleGoose 

Windows:

 java -cp goose.jar;jnlp.jar;classes org.systemsbiology.gaggle.geese.sample.SampleGoose 

Run a second SampleGoose

Open a new command shell and repeat the above command. Now you can send messages from one sample goose to the other
