  3. Double click the file to start the installation.
  4. If you see a User Account Control prompt, click “Yes” to allow the installation to run. If the prompt requires a password, enter your Windows username and password.

Virtual Lab

The Virtual Lab (powered by Apporto) allows UCI affiliates to run specialized software within an internet browser.

  • Apporto runs in any HTML5-compliant web browser (e.g. current versions of Firefox, Edge, Chrome or Safari)
  • Apporto opens virtualized instances of only the software you want to use. If you want to run SPSS for example, click on SPSS and the software will open in a virtual container, directly in your web browser.
  • Apporto enables you to save files or data under your login credentials so you can use that data across different applications or come back to it later.
  • Apporto enters standby mode every day, 10pm-6:am, during which time it remains available, but there may be a 30 second delay on startup.

Applications available through the Virtual Lab:

  • Anaconda Python
  • ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS
  • Eviews
  • FlamMap
  • Matlab
  • Microsoft Office 2019
  • SAS
  • Stata
  • SPSS
  • Cran R
  • R Studio
