MS-Windows-Version: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Win7, Win8.
Linux-Version tested for current distributions of CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu. Using other
distributions, it might be necessary, to install missing libraries, or to start software using distributed
libraries. There is no source code delivered, just the binary files.
Also there is no Linux installation software, only a Linux directory on install CD, including required
Linux files and a "readme" file.
2.1.1.2 General Requirements
For view of PDF manual there must be a pdf-viewer installed and the file extension ".pdf" should
be assigned to this viewer.
2.1.1.3 Program Files
"Program files" are permanent files, that won't be changed after
installation, except of an update. So these files can be installed by the
administrator in a protected read only directory.
The recommended name of the installation directory is "
findclouds
"
and inside of this directory there is a subdirectory "
prg
" for program
core files. This is a standard structure for CMS software and often beside from "prg" there are
other directories.
Program core files are:
clouddir.sys - link file to the associated data directory, it contains simply the path
findclouds.exe
- the executable software
Manual_findclouds.pdf
- the manual
That's all, the software doesn't need additional dll-files and doesn't use the registry, all installation
is done inside of "findclouds" directory and no windows system is affected.
