   <h2><font color="#EC5E5E"><strong>Download and instructions for installation</strong></font></h2>
   
   <h3> Current versions August 2014 </h3>
   <ul>
   <li>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8): 0.98nV</li>
   <li>On MacOS/X Leopard: 0.98nV</li>
   <li>On Linux, ask for the CVS version </li>
   </ul>
   The grapher that IMaCh uses is gnuplot
   from <a href="http://www.gnuplot.info/">http://www.gnuplot.info/</a>.
   Gnuplot has evolved since version IMaCh 0.98k and therefore you need
   at least Gnuplot 4.6. Otherwise you need to adapt the .gp file
   produced in order to run with your old gnuplot.
   
   With the installer provided for OS/X and Windows, a recent gnuplot
   binary is provided and will be installed on the same directory that
   the IMaCh binary.  It is better to use your own Gnuplot installation
   and IMaCh will test the command '''gnuplot''' but if the binary in not
   in your path, it will make a error but will use the binary provided by
   the installers. Using recent gnuplot installations, there is usually a
   possibility to add the gnuplot binary in your path.
   
   <h3>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)</h3>
   <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
   0.98d and above IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup).
   
   <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.
   </p>
   
   <ul>
       <li>Download latest <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach-0.98nV-1-setup.exe</strong></font>
           and execute it .</li>
       <li> Download <font size="2" face="Courier
       New"><strong>gnuplot</strong></font> 4.6.5
       at <a href="http://www.gnuplot.info/">http://www.gnuplot.info/</a>
       ; at the end of the install it is asked if you want to have the
       gnuplot binary in your path, say yes.</li>
       <li>Different sub-directories are created:
             <ul>
               <li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document
                   is <a href="wiki/index.php/Documentation">http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/wiki/index.php/Documentation</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
                           smaller data file which you can use for
                           your own trial.</li>
                   </ul>
                  </ul>
               <li>bin: <ul> <li><font face="Courier">imach.exe</font>
               the executable for Windows cross-compiled on OS/X with i386-mingw32-gcc
               </li> <li> gnuplot, the grapher used by IMaCh.  Its
               reference manual and sources can be accessed from <a
               href="http://www.gnuplot.info/">http://www.gnuplot.info/</a>.
                   </ul>
               </li>
               <li>src: This subdirectory contains the source of the
                   program. It can be obtained by asking us by mail brouard at ined pointfr
                    .</li>
           </ul>
       </li>
       <li>Right click on the .imach to either edit it or execute it with
       IMaCh. At the end of the program, IMaCh uses gnuplot to produce
       the graphs, then you can open your browser to read the main .htm
       file with all results and graphs. If gnuplot is not installed or
       not in your path, you have to run gnuplot on the ".gp" source file
       generated by imach. Using wgnuplot you have to "open" it. </li>
       <li>Read the file README.txt
   </ul>
   
   <br>
   Imach version 0.98nV of August 2014 can be downloaded as a setup.exe file
   <a href="imach-0.98nV-1-setup.exe">
   http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-0.98nV-1-setup.exe</a>. The IMaCh
   program and gnuplot will be installed in the directory that you want
   (usually in Program Files). Please check the md5sum which is
   e5ce179ee1e32d7514be82c0cc19e1fb imach-0.98nV-1-setup.exe
   
   <br>We also changed the wordpad editor to notepad which is less useful
   but exists on most Windows installation.  <br> For people who are not
   allowed to modify the registry of their Windows installation here is a
   second setup <a
   href="imach-0.98nV-1-noreg-setup.exe">imach-0.98nV-1-noreg-setup.exe</a>.
   <br>
   3b477ff19fc4607a32b412e9ad977101 imach-0.98nV-1-noreg-setup.exe
   
   
   <p><a href="oldversions.html">Old Windows versions are accessible here.</a>
   <h3>On Mac OS/X Leopard  (August 2014)</h3>
   
   IMaCh can be easily compiled with gcc 3.3 on MacIntosh as soon as
   XCode (free download from Apple) is intalled on your MaCIntosh.<p>
   
   It take a litle more time to get version of Gnuplot 4.6.5+ for Mac OS/X
   and to compile it on a MaC.  Currently graphs are output as png
   files. We will probably moved to svg because the svg format is
   scalable and thus figures are easier to improve and insert in other documents.
   
   
   <p>
   You can download a dmg file
           at <a href="imach0.98nV.dmg">imach0.98nV.dmg</a> (md5sum
           e2256e6bd4e6f944f17b6be366ce375c). Like on Windows, two
           sub-directories are created
         <tt>bin</tt> and <tt>html</tt> . In the bin subdirectory you
         will find two executables <tt>imach</tt> itself and
         <tt>gnuplot</tt>. 
   
   <p>
   You need to click on <tt>imach</tt> application and IMaCh will be
   launched in a Terminal window, asking you to enter
   a <tt>parameter</tt> file. A parameter file is a text file with an
   extension <tt>.imach</tt> (but you can use a <tt>.txt</tt> extension
   if you want.  Among the parameters required, a data file name has to
   be entered. It can be a relative file name
   like <tt>../../data/data1.txt</tt>. <br> If you open a new finder you
   can drag an IMaCh parameter file into the terminal IMaCh Window that
   you just created.
   <p>
   At the end of the run, and it order for the terminal window not to
   disappear, the program will prompt for a command like "<tt>e</tt>" for
   edit (with your browser) or "<tt>q</tt>" for quit.
   
   <br> The consequence for you is just that you have to use your finder
         or browser (there is no more difference now) and click on the
         <tt>.html</tt> (or .htm) file created. The filename of this html
         file has the same name as your parameter file, only the extension
         .imach is changed to .html.
   
   <h3>On Linux</h3> There are various versions of Linux, gnuplot is
   distributed on most distributions. Just verify that your version of
   gnuplot is more recent than version 4.6 . I haven't had time to make
   a rpm yet, just ask us for the CVS tree location (not completely GPL
   today), and compile the sources. Remarks concerning the Linux versions
   are similar to the Mac OS/X version.

   <h2>IMaCh Wiki</h2>
   As discussed at the REVES meeting in <a href="http://www.prw.le.ac.uk/cgi-bin/reves/2005.cgi">Beijing</a>, we created a Wiki for IMaCh were people having used IMaCh (or having not been able to use it because of obscure or unadequate features) can add tips and discuss various aspects of IMaCh and interface with other statistical softwares. In many aspects, our "official documentation" is not accurate enough.
   
   <p> Wikis are a very promising way to give information closer to your expectations. It also a very dynamic movement if you consider the first <a href="http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">International Wikimedia Conference in Francfurt</a> (August 2005), where most Wikis were represented and in particular <a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>.
