56:
57: <h3> Current versions August 2014 </h3>
58: <ul>
59: <li>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8): 0.98nV</li>
60: <li>On MacOS/X Leopard: 0.98nV</li>
61: <li>On Linux, ask for the CVS version </li>
62: </ul>
63: The grapher that IMaCh uses is gnuplot
64: from <a href="http://www.gnuplot.info/">http://www.gnuplot.info/</a>.
65: Gnuplot has evolved since version IMaCh 0.98k and therefore you need
66: at least Gnuplot 4.6. Otherwise you need to adapt the .gp file
67: produced in order to run with your old gnuplot.
68:
69: With the installer provided for OS/X and Windows, a recent gnuplot
70: binary is provided and will be installed on the same directory that
71: the IMaCh binary. It is better to use your own Gnuplot installation
72: and IMaCh will test the command '''gnuplot''' but if the binary in not
73: in your path, it will make a error but will use the binary provided by
74: the installers. Using recent gnuplot installations, there is usually a
75: possibility to add the gnuplot binary in your path.
76:
77: <h3>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)</h3>
78: <p> Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which
79: had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version
80: 0.98d and above IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup).
81:
82: <br> In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach
83: extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking
84: on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with
85: the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).<br>
86:
87: But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed
88: to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges.
89:
90: <br>
91: Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install
92: the progam (usually in <tt>\Program Files\imach</tt> and will
93: modify the registry to associate <tt>.imach</tt> extension to notepad and imach, and a
94: second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you
95: will be able to install the programs in your home directory and
96: run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able
97: to use the facility of the right clicking.

140: file with all results and graphs. If gnuplot is not installed or
141: not in your path, you have to run gnuplot on the ".gp" source file

172: <p><a href="oldversions.html">Old Windows versions are accessible here.</a>
173: <h3>On Mac OS/X Leopard (August 2014)</h3>
174:
175: IMaCh can be easily compiled with gcc 3.3 on MacIntosh as soon as
176: XCode (free download from Apple) is intalled on your MaCIntosh.<p>
177:
178: It take a litle more time to get version of Gnuplot 4.6.5+ for Mac OS/X
179: and to compile it on a MaC. Currently graphs are output as png
180: files. We will probably moved to svg because the svg format is
181: scalable and thus figures are easier to improve and insert in other documents.

185: You can download a dmg file
1.15 ! brouard 186: at <a href="imach0.98nX.dmg">imach0.98nX.dmg</a> (md5sum
! 187: ff9d2389abc2d3ce106203d89fd096d4). Like on Windows, two
1.14 brouard 188: sub-directories are created
189: <tt>bin</tt> and <tt>html</tt> . In the bin subdirectory you
190: will find two executables <tt>imach</tt> itself and
191: <tt>gnuplot</tt>.
192:
193: <p>
194: You need to click on <tt>imach</tt> application and IMaCh will be
195: launched in a Terminal window, asking you to enter
196: a <tt>parameter</tt> file. A parameter file is a text file with an
197: extension <tt>.imach</tt> (but you can use a <tt>.txt</tt> extension
198: if you want. Among the parameters required, a data file name has to
199: be entered. It can be a relative file name
200: like <tt>../../data/data1.txt</tt>. <br> If you open a new finder you
201: can drag an IMaCh parameter file into the terminal IMaCh Window that
202: you just created.
203: <p>
204: At the end of the run, and it order for the terminal window not to
205: disappear, the program will prompt for a command like "<tt>e</tt>" for
206: edit (with your browser) or "<tt>q</tt>" for quit.
207:
208: <br> The consequence for you is just that you have to use your finder
209: or browser (there is no more difference now) and click on the
210: <tt>.html</tt> (or .htm) file created. The filename of this html
211: file has the same name as your parameter file, only the extension
212: .imach is changed to .html.
213:
214: <h3>On Linux</h3> There are various versions of Linux, gnuplot is
215: distributed on most distributions. Just verify that your version of
1.15 ! brouard 216: gnuplot is more recent than version 4.6.5 . I haven't had time to make
1.14 brouard 217: a rpm yet, just ask us for the CVS tree location (not completely GPL
218: today), and compile the sources. Remarks concerning the Linux versions
219: are similar to the Mac OS/X version.

281: As discussed at the REVES meeting in <a href="http://www.prw.le.ac.uk/cgi-bin/reves/2005.cgi">Beijing</a>, we created a Wiki for IMaCh were people having used IMaCh (or having not been able to use it because of obscure or unadequate features) can add tips and discuss various aspects of IMaCh and interface with other statistical softwares. In many aspects, our "official documentation" is not accurate enough.
282:
283: <p> Wikis are a very promising way to give information closer to your expectations. It also a very dynamic movement if you consider the first <a href="http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">International Wikimedia Conference in Francfurt</a> (August 2005), where most Wikis were represented and in particular <a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>.
