INSTALLATION OF THE FULLPROF SUITE FOR WINDOWS
==============================================

Download the package, which is an executable file (installer), in a temporary directory and run it.
Follow the indications of the installer and pay attention not to use, for holding the files, directories
with blanks or non ASCII character in their names


INSTALLATION OF THE FULLPROF SUITE FOR MacOS
=============================================

The current version of FullProf for Mac works only for MacOS's starting with Leopard. It is totally
compatible with the current MacOS X Yosemite.
Download the package "FullProf_Mac.dmg" to the Desktop. Click on it and copy the bundle "FullProf_Mac.app"
into "Applications" directory. The "Examples" and "IRF_Files" directories can be copied to whatever place
convenient to the user. You may create an alias to "FullProf_Mac.app" on the desktop for easy access.
Clicking on the application a Mac script is opened and, by clicking on OK button, the FullProf Suite
Toolbar is launched. Please read the "Readme.txt" file for further details.

In the case you do not have Open Motif installed in your Mac please do the following:

  1- Download OpenMotif from the FullProf site (see above, this is a file equivalent to that of
     the site http://dryden.biol.yorku.ca/macosx/packages/openmotif-2.2.3-intel.tar.gz)
     The file is called: openmotif-2.3.3-intel-MacOS.tgz, but sometimes Safari uncompresses
     automatically the file and the name becomes: openmotif-2.3.3-intel-MacOS.tar

  2- Create a folder "Darwin" in the folder "Applications"

  3- Copy the downloaded openmotif-2.3.3-intel-MacOS.tar file to that folder
     Extract the files using: tar -xvzf openmotif-2.3.3-intel-MacOS.tgz
     (or tar -xvf openmotif-2.3.3-intel-MacOS.tar if already uncompressed)

  4- Launch Terminal.app  (located in Application/Utilities)

  5- Type or copy the following command:

        sudo ln -s /Applications/Darwin/openmotif-2.2.3-universal /usr/OpenMotif

     which will ask for a password with admin. permissions.
     Note that you must adapt this command if you download another version of OpenMotif

  6- If you experience problems in lauching graphic applications, verify that the X-windows
     libraries are in the proper directory /usr/X11. If they are in another directory (for
     instance in /opt/X11) make a link to /usr/X11 with the command:

        sudo ln -s /opt/X11  /usr/X11

  7- If you experience problems in launching console applications add the following
     command in the file (if it doesn't exists you should create it): .bash_profile

        PATH=$PATH:/Applications/FullProf_Mac.app/Contents/Resources/FullProf_Suite

  8- That's all


INSTALLATION OF THE FULLPROF SUITE FOR LINUX
============================================

Download the file of the version you wish to install in your system from the WEB page of the FullProf Suite.
The steps to follow are the following:

General Mode (for all the users of the system)
----------------------------------------------
1.- Activate the super-user mode
2.- Create a directory in which you want to hold the programs of the FullProf_Suite.
    For instance:  /usr/local/bin/FullProf_Suite in some Linux systems
3.- Copy the file FullProf_Suite_XXXXNNNN_Lin.tgz (XXX=Month NNNN=year) in the
    directory just created in step 2
4.- Decompress the file .tgz with the following command:
     -> tar -xzvf FullProf_Suite_XXXXNNNN_Lin.tgz
5.- Tell the users to activate the environment variable FULLPROF in their configuration file (see below)

Local Mode (Installation for a single user)
-------------------------------------------
1.- Create a directory in which you want to hold the programs of the FullProf_Suite.
    e.g.: $HOME/FullProf_Suite
2.- For doing that you must execute the following commands:
     -> cd $HOME
     -> mkdir FullProf_Suite
     -> cd FullProf_Suite
3.- Copy the file FullProf_Suite_XXXXNNNN_Lin.tgz (XXXX=Month NNNN=year) in the
    directory just created in step 2
4.- Decompress the file .tgz with the following command:
     -> tar -xzvf FullProf_Suite_XXXXNNNN_Lin.tgz
5.- Modify the configuration file to activate the environment variable FULLPROF (see below)

Activation of the environment variable of the FullProf_Suite
------------------------------------------------------------
1.- Depending of the SHELL of the user the commands are different. The aim is to create the
    environment variable FULLPROF.
    To know what is the shell one is using you should execute the command:
    -> echo $SHELL

    Generally it is one of the following: Bourne (sh, bash), Korn(ksh), C(csh)

2.- From now we suppose we are using the Bourne of bash type. If you have another one you must
    consult how to do the equivalent commands we explain below.

3.- Edit the setting file of the user. In our case it should be in the root directory of
    the user and the name is .bashrc or .bash_profile

4.- Add the environment variable FULLPROF, that has as value the absolute path of the directory
    in which we have installed the programs of the FullProf Suite.

    For instance:
                  FULLPROF=/opt/FullProf_Suite
                  FULLPROF=/usr/local/bin/FullProf_Suite

5.- Add the above directory to the PATH variable
                  PATH=$FULLPROF:$PATH
6.- Export the defined variable
                  export FULLPROF
7.- The changes will be effective on opening a new terminal window. To verify that everything is OK,
    just type in your terminal the command:
    -> echo $FULLPROF
    The system will show the directory in which you have installed the programs.

After doing all the above steps all the programs of the FullProf Suite are available from whatever
working directory. If you need to update the FullProf Suite you just have to do the steps 3 and 4 of the
General or Local mode described above. Only in the case you decide to use another directory you have to
redefine the environment variable. You can use the programs in console mode or use the toolbar (command
tfp) to access the different programs.

Depending of your installation you may need to install the libraries of OpenMotif version 2.3.
Do that only in case one of the GUIs doesn't work and you see a message of the form:
  "libXm.so.3" not available
or something similar.
