To facilitate reuse, we have developed comprehensive Python bindings using SWIG (swig.org) and a C API. Li-bRoadRunner uses a number of statically linked third party libraries including: LLVM [4], libSBML [1], CVODE, NLEQ2, LAPACK and Poco. LibRoadRunner is supported on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.Supplementary information Online documentation, build instructions and git source repository are available at http://www.libroadrunner.org
