Reference environment for the manuscript ['Hierarchical Bond Graph Modelling of Biochemical Networks'](http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.01814)

### Overview

This is the reference environment for the manuscript ['Hierarchical Bond Graph Modelling of Biochemical Networks'](http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.01814).  It executes code to reproduce specific results described in the manuscript.   You can find more information about this research at the [project page here](http://uomsystemsbiology.github.io/hbgm/).  

To find other versions of this reference environment, see Other Links below.  To learn more about reference environments, [see the detailed description here](http://uomsystemsbiology.github.io/reference-environments/).  

### Instructions for use

This version of the reference environment is a live image as a bootable read-only ISO.  To use it:

- Install a virtualization tool like [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), then
- Create a new virtual machine in the virtualization tool with a virtual CD/DVD-ROM drive
- Mount the ISO in the drive
- Boot the machine.  

This will start a virtual machine with scripts to run which reproduce results described in the manuscript.
