Installation
Preconditions
There are several installed software packages required to use all features of openFuXML. In general you need Latex, Ghostscript, ImageMagick and Java 5 or above. For the latex subsystem we propose MiKTeX for Windows and and for Windows MacTex for OSX.
TAR Package
You need to extract openFuXML.tgz and then follow the instructions. This will start the openFuXML Server. The you need to connect with the client (share/client).
Windows Installer
Automatic installation package that installs and configures openFuXML as stand-alone version for direct use. The configuration and possible download of software needed by openFuXML to operate correctly (LaTeX, ImageMagick, Java Development Kit and GhostScript) will be guided by a wizard at first launch of the program. Just double-click the msi file and then start openFuXML from the start menu.
Java WebStart
The WebStart will be the easiest solutution for a quick look into openFuXML. The Client-GUI will directly executed via Webstart and required components for the production component will installed on the fly. Please verify the preconditions, depending on your OS. Since openFuXML is not "pure Java", some programm files will be installed to:
Mac OS X: HOME/Library/openFuXML/version, Window: C:\openFuXML\version and Linux: HOME/.openFuXML/version. You can set your paths for the repository and output directory in openfuxml.xml.Debian Package
Package for Debian/GNU Linux distribution, containing all information on dependencies so that the debian package manager will not only install and configure openFuXML, but also the requiered additional software (LaTeX, ImageMagick, tex4ht and GhostScript). For installing Sun Java you can add "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib" to /etc/apt/sources.lst and then "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install sun-java5-jre". Unpack the openfuxml-xx-deb.tgz int a directory and edit the file "/etc/apt/sources.lst" by adding a line "deb file:/directory/openfuxml binary/". After this and " apt-get update" you can install openFuXML including all dependencies with "apt-get install openfuxml".
A direct installation is possible, too. Simply install the package via "dpkg --install openFuXML-version.deb", but remember that dependencies are not solved.
