Pipeline Web Start (PWS) allows users to start and run the LONI Pipeline application from a web browser without installation. Users who choose this application will have access to all of the functions and features included in the downloadable version. PWS is accessible via an anonymous guest login or user-authentication to connect to remote Pipeline servers.
Alternatively, you can download the installer for the LONI Pipeline desktop application here. Desktop application and web start have the same features.

FAQs
I get “pipeline.jnlp can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.” message when trying to run Pipeline Web Start on Mac OSX, how can I fix this?
It is likely that your OS X’s GateKeeper prevents you from running LONI Pipeline. Open System Preferences and click on “Security & Privacy” icon. Unlock the lock in case it is locked and select “Anywhere” option. Now try to open LONI Pipeline package again and installation should work. After the Pipeline installation is done, you can change the Gatekeeper option to previously selected value. For more information, please refer to Apple’s documentation.
