ProFiDo 1.3
===========

1) System Requirements
   -------------------

      ProFiDo is available for Linux and Windows. Depending on the operating 
      system different requirements have to be fulfilled to run ProFiDo.
      
      Linux
      -----
         To run ProFiDo's GUI only Java is required. However, for full 
         functionality including all the supported tools for fitting and 
         result visualization the following system requirements have to 
         be fulfilled:
            - Linux
            - Java
            - wish - Tcl/Tk shell required for converter scripts
            - gnuplot - required for creating plots of autocorrelation, cdf and pdf
            - R - required for ARIMA fitting and statistical tests
            
      Windows
      -------
         The Windows version of ProFiDo is bundled with a MinGW/MSYS environment that 
         contains most of the tools required by ProFiDo. For the Windows version 
         only Java is needed.


2) Installation
   ------------

      Linux
      -----
        a) Extract profido1.3.zip to a local directory (the recommended directory is ~/ProFiDo):
               mkdir ~/ProFiDo
               unzip profido1.3.zip -d ~/ProFiDo
           The directory should now contain four files (profido.jar, software.xml, profido.sh, 
           gpl-2.0.txt) and a subdirectory (software).

        b) If you did not use ~/ProFiDo as installation directory you have to edit the file
           software.xml and replace "${HOME}/ProFiDo" in line
               <softwaresource>${HOME}/ProFiDo/software</softwaresource>
           at the beginning of the file with your installation directory.

        c) Change to your installation directory and run ./profido.sh to start ProFiDo's GUI.
    
      Windows
      -------
        a) Extract profido1.3_win.zip to a local directory.
           The directory should now contain the subfolder MinGW.
        
        b) Change to the MinGW/msys/1.0 subfolder in your installation directory.
        
        c) Execute msys.bat.
           This will start a commandline shell.
           
        d) Change to the ProFiDo folder (cd profido) and run ./profido.sh to start ProFiDo's GUI.
