1. System requirements
   OS : Windows 10 (64 bit) Version 1909
   Software is not compatible with older versions of Windows nor Mac.
   Non-standard hardware is not required.

2. Installation Guide

3. Demo Instructions to run on data can be found in the Procedure section of the manuscript.
   Expected output of the procedure is provided in the Figure 5 of the manuscript and also in the supplementary files.
   Expected run time for demo :
   Step 1-2, Segment cells or nuclei, 5~10 mins
   Step 3, Create a list of images to build the shape-analysis model, 1-3 mins
   Steps 4-9, Build shape-analysis model in VAMPIRE, 1-5 mins
   Steps 10-12, Application of the model to analyze shapes across conditions, 1-5 mins
   Total, steps 1-12, complete VAMPIRE analysis, 8-23 mins

4. Instructions for use Instructions to run on data can be found in the Procedure section of the manuscript.
   By following the Procedure section, the users can reproduce the expected output data provided in the supplementary files.
