  1. In Firefox, go to the BioBIKE portal and select ViroBIKE. No other BioBIKE instance has the sequence of phage T4 necessary to run the simulation. No other browser besides Firefox supports BioBIKE.
     
  2. Enter into the login box your BioBIKE login ID, if you have one, or if you don't, enter any nickname you want to use (e.g. your name). Make sure the nickname has no blanks or special characters (just letters and numbers). Click New Login.
     
  3. If you are taken to a registration screen, fill in the boxes and register, if you like, or just click No Registration.

  2. Then mouse over the green arrow Options icon and click SHARED.
     
  3. Finally, click file-name to open the entry box and type "crick-1961-simulation.bike". Press the Enter key on your keyboard after you've finished typing, and double-click RUN-FILE in the yellow function box.
     
  4. The first time you use BioBIKE, you'll probably get a popup warning. Click the Options button and allow popups, then click the here link on the BioBIKE warning to continue.
