================================================================ Amadeus_AlgPython vers. 110705 ================================================================ --- Windows Linux --- FIRST TIME (install and start): Suppose, AlgPythonStarter.jar has been downloaded to an AlgPython_home_folder, e.g. D:\AlgPython (Windows) /home/me/AlgPython (Linux) 1. Make sure that the environment variable PATH includes the path to the executables java.exe, and jar.exe 2. Start in AlgPython_home_folder Amadeus_AlgPython: java -jar AlgPythonStarter.jar 3. In the project frame, in section Paths, update line Python: python3.0 replacing python3.0 with desired pyhton-interpretator call. Export the updated project: File>Export ... AlgPythonWorks.xml. EVERY NEXT TIME (restart): 1. Make sure Amadeus_AlgPython is not currently running (and java.exe, jar.exe are still accessible). 2. Run in AlgPython_home_folder: java -jar AlgPythonStarter.jar Files in the home_folder are preserved, except some system files, which may be updated. NB! It is not recommended to restart directly java -jar Amadeus_AlgPython.jar in which case the system and its properties are not updated. Before the restart one may change (using a text editor) the system properties (e.g. font) in the file Amadeus.properties in the home_folder In particular, the initial interface language can be set to English: locale= ENG TO DEVELOP A NEW PROGRAM: 1. Open (if not already open) the project AlgPythonWorks: File>Import project ... AlgPythonWorks.xml. The programs developed under this project will be located in the sub-folder 'workspace'. 2. In the project frame, write the name of the new program, e.g. p.algpy . 3. Export project File>Export ... AlgPythonWorks.xml. 4. Triple mouse left clicking on the name of the new program opens a new program frame and loads an empty program. 5. Fill in (or modify) the statements of the new program. Compound statements must be expressed by sketches (insert a sketch: F1-F5). Mouse right click is used to iconify(fold)/open(unfold) sketches. 6. In order to process (including save): File>Save (or Ctrl+S) [7. Continue from 5.] ================================================================
