SIMH pre-built binaries

Welcome to SIMH's pre-built binaries!

  • .deb: Debian packages for Linux. To install:

    $ sudo dpkg -i <package file>
    
  • .zip: ZIP-ed executable archive. Use your favorite or appropriate ZIP software to unzip the archive. The simh-<version>/bin subdirectory is the location of the simulators.

  • .exe: Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS)-created Windows installer.

    NOTE: The executble is not code-signed. DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THE EXECUTABLE TO INSTALL. If you do, you are likely to get a Windows Defender popup box that will prevent you from installing SIMH. Instead, use a CMD or PowerShell command window and execute the .exe from the command line prompt. For example, to install simh-4.0.0-win32-native.exe:

    ## PowerShell:
    PS> .\simh-4.0.0-win32-native
    
    ## CMD:
    > .\simh-4.0.0-win32-native
    
  • .msi: WiX toolkit-created Windows MSI installer.

    These MSI files are not code-signed. DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THE EXECUTABLE TO INSTALL. If you do, you are likely to get a Windows Defender popup box that will prevent you from installing SIMH. Instead, use a CMD or PowerShell command window to manually invoke msiexec to install SIMH. From either a PowerShell or CMD command window:

    > msiexec /qf /i simh-4.0.0-win32-native.msi
