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.

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
