Downloading, Installing, and Running CAMEOfm

Download CAMEOfm version 2.4

Important note for current CAMEOfm users:  Installing a new version of CAMEOfm will overwrite the data in your current version of CAMEOfm. To ensure that your data is successfully transferred to the new version, download and read the instructions for updating to CAMEOfm 2.4 from a previous version.

Download the Program Components

Since CAMEOfm 2.0, the traditional CAMEO functionality has been split into two programs that need to be downloaded and installed separately.

  • CAMEOfm is a database application where you can keep track of information (such as chemical inventories and contact information for facilities in your community) to assist in emergency response and planning.
  • CAMEO Chemicals has an extensive chemical database with critical response information for thousands of chemicals, and a tool that tells you what reactions might occur if chemicals were mixed together. (The downloadable version can share information with other CAMEO suite programs; an online version Exit EPA and a mobile site version Exit EPA are also available.)

Download CAMEOfm for Windows (Version 2.4, November 2012, 20MB EXE)

Download CAMEOfm for the Macintosh (Version 2.4, November 2012, 44MB DMG); see instructions for latest Mac OS X versions
Download CAMEO Chemicals for the Macintosh (Version 2.4, March 2013, from the NOAA website

Note: The installed programs include extensive on-screen help systems (rather than spearate manuals).

CAMEOfm System Requirements: The Windows version requires Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista (Service Pack 2), or Windows 7.  (We have performed some limited testing on Windows 8, and there are no known issues at this time.)  The Macintosh version requires Leopard (v. 10.5.7 or later), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), Lion (10.7.x), or Mountain Lion (10.8.x).

Installing CAMEOfm

Note: If you're installing CAMEOfm on a Mac with an operating system version 10.7.5 or higher (that is, newer versions of Lion and all versions of Mountain Lion), make sure to review the installation instructions for latest Mac OS X versions.  This document provides guidance on installing CAMEOfm on Macs with Gatekeeper.
