 <p>Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to  <h3>On Windows (win9X, 2000, XP)</h3>
 have a separate directory for imach. A classical installation for Windows is on Program Files\imach <br>  <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
   0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup).  Both
   executables <tt>imach.exe</tt> and <tt>gnuplot.exe</tt> (the grapher
   that we are using) have to be on the same directory.
   
   <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.

   Imach version 0.97b of June 21 2004 can be downloaded as a setup.exe file
   <a href="imach-0.97b-2-setup.exe">
   http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-0.97b-2-setup.exe</a>. The IMaCh
   program and gnuplot will be installed in the directory that you want
   (usually in Program Files).  We made some errors in the new setup and
   some erlier versions did not work. Please check the md5sum which is
   3cb42bf71396d531d4bc3d42fee46a52 imach-0.97b-2-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-0.97b-2-noreg-setup.exe">imach-0.97b-2-noreg-setup.exe</a>.
   
   <p><a href="oldversions.html">Old Windows versions are accessible here.</a>
   <h3>On Mac OS/X Panther only (october 2005)</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 latest version of Gnuplot 4.0 for Mac
   OS/X and to compile it on a MaC (sources tar.gz can be also accessed on our site from <a href=gnuplot-4.0.0.tar.gz>here</a>. The main problem resides in finding
   the png library. Gif images are patented now and the replacement is
   png, but the development of the png library is growing on its own and
   you just have to find on Google where it is hosted now.
   
   <br>
   Gnuplot can be easily compiled on a MaC, but I don't know yet (July
   2004) which is default screen terminal driver for gnuplot.
   As already said you need libpng (to be included in terms) which itself needs zlib on the same directory level. Boths sources can be acessed on the Web but here you can get the sources used on the MacOS/X Panther version (<a href- libpng-1.2.5.tgz>libpng-1.2.5.tgz</a> and <a href=zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz>zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz</a>.
   
   If X11 is already installed on your MaC (it is included on your installation CD
   or you can download it from the WEB), then you can do <tt>set ter
   X11</tt> and <tt>plot sin(x)</tt> to get a nice sin curve on an X11
   window of your Mac.
   
   <br> Let me add that for running IMaCh with all of its features, you don't
   need X11; the gnuplot program included in the distribution needs only
   to have the png terminal driver to output graphs and these graphs will
   be viewed by your browser.<br>
   
   You need X11 only if you want to modify and test the gnuplot code output by
   ImaCh, because it might be a more convenient way to view the graphs
   directly on the screen than writing images on a file and viewing them
   with a browser,
   
   <p>
   You can download a .pkg.pax file at <a
           href="imach097b.pkg.pax">imach097b.pkg.pax</a>. Stuffit
         Expander will expand the compressed file into a imach097b.pkg directory. Just
         clicking on the directory will let you install IMaCh in a local
         directory of your own (you have to create a new folder name IMaCh097b or whatever). 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 can also download a dmg file (octobre 2005) still for Panther only (we do not have a Tiger version at INED yet) at <a href=imach-0.98panther.dmg>imach-0.98panther.dmg</a>.
   
   <p>
   You need to click on <tt>imach</tt> and IMaCh will be launched in a
   Terminal window, asking you to enter a <tt>parameter</tt> file. A
   parameter file is 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 or "<tt>q</tt>" for quit. The edit command might not work
         on a MaC, or on Unix or even on recent Windows, because the program should know which
         browser you are using and becauee the BROWSER environment
         doesn't seem to be standard on a Mac and on some other OS too.
   
   <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 is 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 0.38i . 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. A binary rpm will be given as
   soon as a src rpm will be given which means that the whole program
   will be GPL licensed.

   <h2>IMaCh Wiki</h2>
   As discussed at the last 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 used 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>.
