I have a new windows 10 computer. When I downloaded swarn, any version, from Raspberry Shake, the bat file did not execute. No clue what is going on.
Stay safe,

Hello Dick,
Have you tried the latest version available from the USGS website here? https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/software/swarm/index.shtml
Also, sometimes the .bat files may not start (or have an unstable behaviour) due to a corrupted or missing Java package in the computer. In such cases, it is recommended to reinstall everything from scratch. Here’s the download link: https://www.java.com/en/download/
Giuseppe,
I’m embarrassed to say, the computer did not have Java installed. When I downloaded and installed it, the bat file worked like a charm. Thanks for the help.
Stay safe,
Dick

No problem at all Dick, I am here for that too.
And don’t feel embarrassed, it happened to me a couple of months ago: the day before, everything was perfect, the day after… Java got uninstalled by its own will and I lost a couple of hours trying to find the problem, before discovering that Java disappeared.
Same here…I have a new Windows 11 PC and have been running SWARM 3.5.2 for a few months. Windows today made me update Windows and after that I can not start the Batch program for SWARM. All the older versions of SWARM start, but not the 35.2 version. I tried downloading 3.5.2 and JAVA several times and still the swarm_console file will not start. Never had a problem until GITHUB took over.
I have seen the same issue, but on two different computers. On my laptop, for some reason (and with the same JAVA version), the latest SWARM 3.5.2 works without issues.
On my desktop, though, no matter what I do, I have to go back to the previous version because the latest won’t start.
I have reported it and I encourage you to do the same (if you haven’t already) so whoever is in charge of the project now knows about this bug.
