<h2><font color="#EC5E5E"><strong>New installation method</strong></font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p> Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which
|
|
had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version
|
|
0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both
|
|
executables <tt>imach.exe</tt> and <tt>gnuplot.exe</tt> (the grapher
|
|
that we are using) have to be on the same directory.
|
|
|
|
<br> In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach
|
|
extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking
|
|
on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with
|
|
the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).<br>
|
|
|
|
But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed
|
|
to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install
|
|
the progam (usually in <tt>\Program Files\imach</tt> and will
|
|
modify the registry to associate <tt>.imach</tt> extension to notepad and imach, and a
|
|
second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you
|
|
will be able to install the programs in your home directory and
|
|
run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able
|
|
to use the facility of the right clicking.

<ul>
|
|
<li>Download latest <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach-0.97b-setup.exe</strong></font>
|

and execute it .</li>
|
|
<li>Different sub-directories are created:
|

<ul>
|
|
<li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document
|
|
is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li>

<ul> Here are also two data files:<font size="4"
|
|
face="Times New Roman"> </font><ul>
|
|
<li><font face="Courier New">data1.txt</font>
|
|
which is the main data file on which the

|
program has been run as the example in

the main documentation.</li>
|
|
<li><font face="Courier New">mydata.txt </font>a
