Download and installation instructions



January 13 2012: For Mathematica 8 (and Mathematica 7) download here fc810.tar.gz or fc810.zip.
August 30 2011: For Mathematica 8 (and Mathematica 7) download here fc803.tar.gz or fc803.zip.
August 20 2011: For Mathematica 8 (and Mathematica 7) download here fc802.tar.gz or fc802.zip.
June 22nd 2011: For Mathematica 8 (and Mathematica 7) download here fc8beta3.tar.gz or fc8beta3.zip.
May 2nd 2011: For Mathematica 8 (and Mathematica 7) download here fc8beta2.tar.gz or fc8beta2.zip. I (Rolf) did some bug-fixing and adaption of FeynCalc to work with Mathematica 7 and 8. I included a patched version FeynArts 3.4. Note that the documentation is not updated. I would need help of some kind physics institution inviting me for two or three month to work on the documentation and to fix other glitches. Please remember that I do maintain FeynCalc in my free time and that I do not have any position at a physics institution.

For Mathematica 6 only: I (Rolf) patched FeynCalc to be compatible with Mathematica 6 (not Phi, not FeynArts) and zipped it together, including fully evaluated documentation notebooks in HighEnergyPhysics/Documentation/English/. It can be downloaded here: feyncalc600.zip. Notice that this version does not load Phi, neither FeynArts, by default. Notice that these changes are not entered into CVS yet, due to lack of time.
The latest (CVS-snapshot) release with a couple of bug fixes, fully compatible with Mathematica 5.2, is FeynCalc 5.1 beta3. This is currently the recommended version.. It can be downloaded here: fc5beta3.tar.gz, fc5beta3.zip.
Older development releases can be downloaded here: fc5beta2.tar.gz, fc5beta2.zip, fc5beta1.tar.gz, fc5beta1.zip, HighEnergyPhysics-4.2.0pre1.tar.gz, HighEnergyPhysics-4.2.0pre1.zip.
The latest stable release is FeynCalc 4.1.1.0. You can download it here: HighEnergyPhysics-4.1.1.0.tar.gz, HighEnergyPhysics-4.1.1.0.zip.
Older releases can be downloaded here: HighEnergyPhysics-4.1.0.3b.tar.gz, HighEnergyPhysics-4.1.0.3b.zip. Some notes are available here

    Installation instructions    
   

See the news page for information about releases.

  1. Download the file HighEnergyPhysics-xxx.tar.gz or HighEnergyPhysics-xxx.zip (if you're using using Windows you'll probably want the zip file) by clicking one of the links above.
  2. Place the file in the directory "Applications", in the directory hierarchy of your Mathematica installation. If you're on a Unix system, "Applications" can also be in ~/.Mathematica.
  3. Make sure there is not already a directory 'HighEnergyPhysics' (and move it out of the way if there is).
  4. Unpack the file: Under UNIX, type tar -xvzf HighEnergyPhysics-xxx.tar.gz; under MacOS and Windows, use some utility like StuffIt Expander or WinZip.
  5. If you've made any customizations in the configuration file FCConfig.m, merge them from the file you've moved away into the new file.
  6. Start Mathematica.
  7. Choose 'Rebuild Help Index' from the 'Help' menu.
  8. Type <<HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc` and try out one of the examples.


    List of examples    
   

The list of examples include examples contributed by users as well as examples provided by the developers.

We are working on a set of examples which will be published here as soon as they are finished.

If you have made some nice calculations using FeynCalc, don't hesitate to post them to feyncalc AT feyncalc.org. We will then consider adding them to the list below.
