Code availability

PoCA is packaged as a one-click installer for the Windows operating system. The source code is available on GitHub (https://github.com/flevet/PoCA) under a LGPL v3 license. We provide a cmake script to facilitate its building inside other operating systems. The documentation is available at https://poca-smlm.github.io/.
