**Using GrapeTree**
GrapeTree is a novel visualization component within [EnteroBase](http://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk/). It generates GrapeTree figures using the neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm, the classical minimal spanning tree algorithm (MSTree) similar to PhyloViz, or an improved minimal spanning tree algorithm which we call MSTree V2.
Many people have asked for a stand-alone version of GrapeTree that they could use offline or integrate into the other applications. The stand-alone version presented here emulates the EnteroBase version through a lightweight webserver running on your local computer. You will be interacting with the program as you would in EnteroBase; through a web browser. We recommend Google Chrome for best results.

**Running on Mac: Download GrapeTree_mac.zip**
You will need to unzip GrapeTree_mac.zip (just double click). Inside there will be an app you can drag into your Applications folder.
You may be warned about Security settings, if you right click on the GrapeTree app and then click "Open" it should be fine.
**Running on Windows: Download GrapeTree_win.zip**
Once downloaded, you will need to untzip GrapeTree_win.zip and then open the extracted folder and run GrapeTree_win.exe. When you run it the first time on windows you might get a prompt about security. On Windows 10, click the small text: "More info", and then the button "Run Anyway".
