This is the public repository for The Community Hub for Open-source Room Acoustics Software. CHORAS is a free, web-based platform for running and comparing room acoustics simulations. Designed for acoustic consultants, researchers, and engineers, it brings together multiple simulation methods in one intuitive interface, so you can focus on results rather than tooling.

Getting started

For a full documentation of CHORAS, please refer to the CHORAS documentation pages. You can find sections on how to install CHORAS, as well as a user guide

Quickstart

The only requirement to run CHORAS is a working Docker installation. Please make sure to install Docker before continuing. You can download Docker from the Docker website.
