<p class="ciparagraph"><span class="ciheader3"><br>
<a name="welcome"></a>I. Welcome!</span> </p> <p class="ciheader4">Welcome to Compendium</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Compendium is a
hypertext concept mapping tool which can be used as an individual or
group tool to model problems, and capture discussions.<br>
<br>
This tool supports the Compendium methodology for Dialogue Mapping
and collaborative visual modelling, as described on the Compendium
Institute website.<br>
</p>
<p class="ciparagraph"><a href="#top" class="content">Back to top</a></p>
<p class="ciparagraph"> </p> <p class="ciparagraph"><span class="ciheader3"><a name="install"></a>II. Install Compendium</span> </p>
<p class="ciheader4"><a name="windows"></a>Windows</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Compendium is a Java application, so it requires
a Java Runtime Environment (JRE 5.0+ specifically 1.5.0_13+) to be installed.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">If you have a previous version of Compendium installed you can install this version
directly over your existing installation. The default location is: C:\Program
Files\Compendium. Your original properties files will not be affected.</p>
<p class="ciheader4"><a name="mac"></a>Mac OS X</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">The Mac release requires either 10.4 (Tiger) with the release 6 update or 10.5 (Leopard) either of which will then have the correct version of Java (JRE 5.0+ specifically 1.5.0_13+) <br>NOTE: It has not been tested on 10.6 (Snow Leopard)</br></p>
<p class="ciparagraph">If you are unsure which version of Java you have installed, open a terminal
window (inside Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type: java -version</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">The output from running that command will look something like:</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">java version "1.5.0_13"<BR>
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-164)<BR>
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-87, mixed mode, sharing)</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">So the above shows that Java 1.5.0_13 is installed in this example which is fine.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Once you have downloaded the relevant .dmg file from the compendiuminstitute.org
website you need to double click the .dmg file to mount the disk image.
This will open a window showing you the compendium .pkg file. Double
click the package file and this will run the installer. Follow the installer
instructions.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">NOTE: Currently, due to unresolved file permission issues,
only the user installing Compendium will be able to run it, unless Compendium sub-folders
have their permissions changed appropriately.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph"><span class="ciparagraphbold">TECH TIP:</span> You
might like to be aware that Compendium sets the Memory allocation for
the JRE up to 512mb (the default is 64mb). If you need to change this
value for any reason, you will need to open the contents of the Compendium
Application file using the 'Show Package Contents' option on the right-click
menu, then open the Contents' folder and edit the VMOptions property
in the info.plist file. Please only attempt this if you are a confident
user.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">
<span class="ciparagraphbold">TECH TIP:</span> In order to automatically open external files and links on the Mac,
Compendium stores file extension and application associations in a file in
<Compendium home folder>/System/resources called LaunchApplications.properties.
This file is added to as the user tries to launch various file types for the
first time and picks an application to use. We have preloaded this file with
three type, 'www', 'http' and 'https', and we have associated them with the path
'/Applications/Safari'. If you do not have this application or have it in
another location, you will need to edit this file appropriately.</p>

<p class="ciparagraph">Compendium is a Java application, so it requires a Java Runtime Environment
(JRE 5.0+ specifically 1.5.0_13+) to be installed before you can run it.</p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Once you have downloaded the relevant .tar file from the compendiuminstitute.org
website, simply unpack it. </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">You can run Compendium by navigating to the Compendium
directory and typing: <span class="ciparagraphbold">./compendium.sh</span></p>

<p class="ciparagraph"> </p> <p class="ciparagraph"><span class="ciheader3"><a name="issues"></a>III. Known Issues</span> </p> <p class="ciheader4"><a name="issuegeneral"></a>General </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">When you import a map from QuestMap with Pros and Cons, they come out
as Arguments in Compendium (even though they are linked to other nodes). </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Exporting to an XML file in an off-line directory can cause the file
to be corrupted. (This is a known Windows problem). </p>
<p class="ciparagraph"><span class="ciheader4"><a name="issuewindows"></a>Windows</span> </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">There is a general bug with Java running on machines with some versions
of NVidia video drivers. If you have a graphics card which uses these
drivers, and experience problems running Compendium, you should make
sure that you have the latest drivers installed. </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">There is a problem with some Tablet PCs and graphics drivers. A workaround
is to switch off Java 2D graphics. This can be done by editing the compendium.bat
file. The final line in the batch file should resemble: </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">start /b javaw -<span class="ciparagraphbold">Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true</span> -Xmx512m <br>-classpath etc.. etc..</p>
<p class="ciheader4"><a name="issuemac"></a>Mac OS X </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">There can be problems with permissions and Compendium accessing/creating
subfolders when the Mac user installing and using Compendium is not part
of the Admin group. </p>
<p class="ciheader4"><a name="issuelinux"></a>Linux </p>
<p class="ciparagraph">Drag and dropping files, images, text etc. from external applications
into Compendium cannot currently be implemented for the Linux platform. Though some drag and dropping from some Linux applications may work.
