made for your workflow
For researchers inspecting results, collaborators opening a shared calculation, and anyone preparing scientific figures.
vibe-qc is not required to install or use the viewer. The command is vibe-view; the Python distribution and import package are vibeview.
Make a figure
Capture views headlessly or work with results from Python for repeatable figure preparation.
Bring your own producer
Read QVF archives from vibe-qc or another code that implements the format, plus supported structure and volume files.
get started
Install vibe-view.
Python 3.11 or newer and Git. The source installer supports macOS and Linux; no vibe-qc native build is required.
Clone the separate vibe-view repository using GitLab, then run these commands from that checkout. The installer creates its own .venv and installs the browser and terminal interfaces. Desktop packaging and platform availability are documented by the viewer project.
./scripts/install.sh
.venv/bin/vibe-view --helpThe GitHub mirror provides public source snapshots; GitLab requires authorized access. Public snapshots can lag GitLab, so check the desired ref on your chosen host. Source and access details.
works together, installs separately
Build the workflow you need.
QVF connects calculation and visualization through a published file format. The QVF specification and reference implementations live in their own Apache-2.0 project; vibe-qc implements the format independently.
