                     49: How to Install Amaya Binary Release
                     50: ===================================
                     51: 
                     52: On Windows platforms, the distribution includes an installer:
                     53: A simple double-clic allows you to install Amaya (so skip this section).
                     54: By default, the executable file Amaya is located at
                     55: c:\Program Files\Amaya\windows\bin\amaya.exe
                     56: and a shortcut is automatically created.
                     57: 
                     58: On Unix platforms and if the distribution is a tar.gz file follow
                     59: these instructions.
                     60: 
                     61: Choose a place for Amaya
                     62: ------------------------
                     63: Supposing the binary distribution was loaded fine, one must choose a place
                     64: to install it. We suggest
                     65: 
                     66:    * /usr/local for a UNIX system wide installation
                     67:    * a user home directory for a personnal installation
                     68: 
                     69: Extract the distribution
                     70: ------------------------
                     71: Move the distribution to this directory, verify the rights on this directory
                     72: allows you to create a directory and extract the distribution:
                     73: tar xzvf amaya-system.tar.gz
                     74: 
                     75: 
                     76: Set up the Environment and Start Amaya
                     77: --------------------------------------
                     78: The file Amaya/$platform/bin/amaya is the executable file Amaya, the
                     79: best thing is to add this path to your PATH environment variable:
                     80: When using sh, bash or another variant of the Bourne shell
                     81: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Amaya/$platform/bin ; export $PATH
                     82: Maybe this command should be added to the .login startup script.
                     83: You can also add a link from /usr/bin/amaya or /usr/local/bin/amaya.
                     84: 
                     85: Once done one can lauch amaya simply by typing "amaya" to the shell prompt.
                     86: The Amaya main window should open and display a page of information.
                     87: 
                     88: How to Compile Amaya Source Release
                     89: ===================================
                     90: 
                     91: Extract the distribution
                     92: ------------------------
                     93: Move the distribution to the correct directory (your $HOME for example).
                     94: Extract the source tar file: amaya-src-release.tar.gz
                     95: 
                     96: Set up the environment and start the compiling
                     97: ----------------------------------------------
                     98: You have to create a new directory platform-name or obj within the 
                     99: directory Amaya. Then you have to call the configure application, which
                    100: is in the Amaya directory, from within this subdirectory.
                    101: For example, if we want to compile Amaya in a LINUX platform, we could do the
                    102: following:
                    103: [1]>cd Amaya
                    104: [2]>mkdir linux
                    105: [3]>cd linux
                    106: [4]>../configure
                    107: 
                    108: See http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Autoconf.html for more information.
