Requisites
- To execute Fressia you need to have Java 1.5 or later
previously installed on your system. You can get it from
here.
- At the moment, in the Windows installation, IE* has some problems to display the Fressia generated
report. So installing
Firefox
or
Google Chrome
is recommended.
Download
Once you have Java installed on your system you can download the Fressia package
from
here.
Intallation
Linux/Unix
- Open up a terminal.
- Choose or create an install directory.
- Do:
$ mv <your downloaded fressia package> <your install directory>
$ cd <your install directory>
- You can unpack your downloaded file with
$ tar xfz <your downloaded fressia package>
or
$ unzip <your downloaded fressia package>
depending on which package version you have downloaded.
-
Now you can delete the downloaded package with
$ rm -f <your downloaded fressia package>
-
Make sure the Fressia executable file has the appropriate permission with
$ chmod ug+x ./bin/fressia
- You might want to add
<your install directory>/bin
to the executable path.
Mac OS X
The Mac OS X package is similar to the Unix/linux package. So you can
follow the same instructions as for the latter.
Note: If you are using Safari to download the package, depending on
your configuration, the package might be automatically unpacked into the
directory configured (in Safari) to store downloads. Safari creates a
directory with the unpacked content. You can move, and rename, that directory
to the final destination and just do steps 6 and 7.
Windows XP/2000/2003/Vista
Execute the downloaded installer and follow the instructions.
Note: In Windows you *can't* add
<your install directory>\bin
to
the executable path. That's why you should provide a destination directory,
when the installer asks for it, of which name is as short (and handy) as
possible. The installer suggests
C:\fressia
and that should be
fine.
