We announce Morpheus 2.4.0 to be immediately available.
The new release caters a gradually improved MorpheusML version and fixes:
- Diffusion rates are now specified in the respective differential equation.
- Configuration options of motility components were unified, as agreed upon in the OpenVT standardisation project.
- Directed Motion now knows a oriented mode, providing nematic alignment to the given direction.
- Skewness, kurtosis and median have been added as new scalar statistics. Older models created former Morpheus versions will be automaticall converted by both, the GUI and the CLI. Note: Conversion back to former version will be added in a future release.
Furthermore, the GUI learned better dark mode support, the random seed can be overridden from command line, and noise scaling in the stochastic solver was fixed.
Note: The GUI temporarily falls back to minimal layout rendering in the documentation panel due to a regression in homebrew’s Qt5 support and full graphics support for the in-app documentation will be restored in a future release.
For a detailed list of all changes, please visit the corresponding changelog.

make && sudo make install
For dependencies and further build instructions, see the README.md in our GitLab repository.
macOS
Homebrew Package Manager
Morpheus is available for macOS 12 ‘Monterey’ and above via Homebrew.
Install
-
Install Homebrew.
-
Install Morpheus and the Gnuplot runtime dependency from the Homebrew Core Tap by pasting the following line in a macOS Terminal:
brew install morpheus gnuplot -
Start the Morpheus GUI with the command:
morpheus-gui -
Recommended: To access Morpheus conveniently from your Mac’s ‘Applications’ folder, add a Morpheus.app shortcut by typing:
ln -sf $(brew --prefix)/opt/morpheus/Morpheus.app /Applications
Please note that the current version has the SBML import feature disabled by default, as we’re currently experiencing problems with some macOS SDKs failing to build libSBML.
If you need SBML support on macOS, you can add the --with-sbml option in the brew install step (see above) which will build Morpheus including libSBML if your machine is not experiencing the macOS SDK issue. For this, you will also need to add our own morpheus Homebrew Tap as shown below (see the FAQ for more information on Taps):
brew tap morpheus-lab/morpheus
brew install morpheus-lab/morpheus/morpheus --with-sbml
If you currently have Morpheus installed via Homebrew and want to upgrade to a newer version of Morpheus with SBML import, please temporarily remove Morpheus with brew uninstall morpheus first (all simulation results already on your system will be preserved), as it’s not possible to pass the --with-sbml install option along with brew upgrade morpheus (see below), and proceed with the brew install command shown here.
Upgrade
If you have already installed Morpheus with Homebrew in the past, simply upgrade to the latest version with:
brew upgrade morpheusBuild from Source
Run the following commands to build Morpheus from source:
