Is There Any Documentation Available for Installing MOVES on Linux?

See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models.

MOVES is designed for the Windows operating system and the EPA MOVES Team only tests and supports MOVES in Windows environments.

However, users have reported successfully installing and running MOVES in Linux. The instructions for Running MOVES from the Windows command line on the MOVES GitHub site include information on compiling and running MOVES from source code. These instructions are generally applicable for any operating system, including Linux.

  • Note that the steps which involve .bat files will need to be modified to translate the Windows commands in these files into commands that work on Linux.
  • Nonroad will also need to be recompiled for running in Linux. Compilation instructions for Nonroad are available in a readme file on GitHub: Compiling Nonroad.
  • Additionally, the MOVESConfiguration.txt, MOVESWorker.txt, maketodo.txt, and manyworkers.txt configuration files will need to be updated to use forward slashes in the file paths.

Finally, while the command line help document linked above is specifically geared towards the Windows, it contains a list of MOVES commands that will work on any operating system once MOVES is compiled and Ant is available on your path.
