Biodivine AEON React is the frontend (as of version 0.6.0 and
later) for the Biodivine/AEON tool.
It is implemented using React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and
Vite.
Biodivine AEON is a web-based application for analyzing and manipulating Partially Specified Boolean Networks. It allows users to:
- Load and modify Partially Specified Boolean Networks
- Perform attractor analysis
- Compute control perturbations
The system consists of two parts:
- Frontend: This repository --- the interactive web interface
- Backend (Compute Engine): A standalone executable that performs all heavy computations
A live version of the frontend is available at: 👉 https://biodivine.fi.muni.cz/aeon/\ Alternatively, you can run the frontend locally by downloading this repository and using the scripts described in the Developer Instructions section.
- Node.js (latest LTS recommended)
Clone or download this repository, then install dependencies:
npm install| Command | Description |
|---|---|
npm run dev |
Starts the development server with hot module replacement |
npm run build |
Builds the production version into the /dist folder |
npm run preview |
Serves the built project from /dist |
npm run lint |
Runs ESLint checks |
To run analyses inside AEON, the frontend must connect to a Compute
Engine running locally on your machine.
If no suitable binary exists for your OS, you can compile one yourself
following the instructions in the
➡️ Biodivine Aeon Server GitHub repository.
Linux (x86-64) Download here
Windows (x86-64) Download here
MacOs (x86-64 - Intel-based) Download here
MacOS (arm64 - Apple Silicon) Download here
All precompiled Compute Engines must be extracted (unzipped) before use.
To run this version of Compute Engine, you need a Linux distribution with an x86-64 architecture.
Run the Compute Engine: After unzipping, navigate to the folder and run the compute-engine file.
Fix Permissions (if necessary): If you encounter a permission error, you may need to update the permissions of the compute-engine file. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
chmod +x compute-engine
After updating the permissions, you can try running the compute-engine file again.
To run this version of Compute Engine, you need a Windows distribution with an x86-64 architecture.
Run the Compute Engine: After unzipping, navigate to the folder and run the compute-engine file.
Bypass Security Warning: Windows may flag the executable as a potential security risk and display a warning message. If this happens:
-
Look for a "Run" button in the warning window.
-
If you don't see it immediately, you may need to click a "Show More" or "More Info" button to reveal the option to run the application.
-
Click the Run button, and the Compute Engine should start.
To run this version of Compute Engine on MacOS with an x86-64 architecture (Intel-based Macs, not Apple M processors).
Run the Compute Engine: After unzipping, navigate to the folder and run the compute-engine file.
Bypass Security Warning: MacOS may block the execution of the file if it is from an unidentified developer. If this happens:
-
Open System Preferences and go to Security & Privacy.
-
Under the General tab, look for a message saying the compute-engine was blocked.
-
Click Open Anyway, and the Compute Engine should run.
Same steps as Intel macOS.
The repository additionally contains the AEON Home Page (/aeon-home.html) used to display available versions of the AEON frontend. This page is designed for internal Sybila deployment; the links to documentation and frontend builds work only on the Sybila server.
