        !            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.
