Please remove any old DataScene installation before attempting to install a
new release.

If you have downloaded the DataScene-x.y.z.w.zip file from the
internet (where x, y, z, w are the version numbers), follow these steps
to set up DataScene:
- Extract the contents in DataScene-x.y.z.w.zip to a location where you have
write permission (e.g. your Desktop). For Windows XP/VISTA/7 operating
systems, this can be done by right clicking the DataScene-x.y.z.w.zip
icon in
a file explorer and selecting the Extract All... menu command. For
other systems, the user needs to use a program that can extract zipped files
(e.g. WinZip).
- In the extracted folder, double click the Setup.exe file
to start the installation program.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to set up DataScene.
If you have an installation CD, insert it into your computer. The
installation program should start automatically. If not, double click the Setup.exe
program under the CD root directory to start the installation program. After the
installation program starts, follow the instructions on the screen to set up
DataScene.
Linux and Other Unix/X11 Based Operating Systems
- Open a shell and change to the directory where the installation file DataScene_nix-x.y.z.w.tar.gz
(where x, y, z, w are the version numbers)
is saved..
- Untar the installation file DataScene_nix-x.y.z.w.tar.gz
by executing the command 'tar xvzf DataScene_nix-x.y.z.w.tar.gz'.
- Change to the newly created directory DataScene_nix.
- If you would like to perform a system-wide installation, switch
to root by executing the command 'su' and supply the root password.
- Launch the installation script by executing the command './Install'
and follow the on-screen instructions.
Microsoft Windows®
To uninstall DataScene on Windows®, go to the Control Panel and click the Add or
Remove Programs. In the popup dialog box, browse the entry of DataScene and then click the Remove button.
Follow the instructions on the screen to remove DataScene.
Linux and Other Unix/X11 Based Operating Systems
To uninstall DataScene on Linux and other Unix/X11 based operating systems,
simply delete the DataScene installation directory.
Upon successful installation, a shortcut called DataScene Updater is
created in the Start menu. The DataScene program also has a Help:
DataScene Updater menu command for the same purpose. The user may use this
shortcut or the menu command to start the updater to check whether a new update is available. If
so, the updater will prompt the user to download and install the update. It is
recommended that the user perform this check biweekly to make DataScene up to
date.
