Installation

- -

Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to -have a separate directory for imach. A classical installation for Windows is on Program Files\imach

New installation method

+ +

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 imach.exe and gnuplot.exe (the grapher +that we are using) have to be on the same directory. + +
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).
+ + But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed + to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges. + +
+ Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install + the progam (usually in \Program Files\imach and will + modify the registry to associate .imach 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.
