2exand select the relevant options. OxMetrics Enterprise has one integrated installer only, so select that option when you have an Enterprise licence. Note that all installations (except OxEdit) will ask for a valid licensing code.
OxMetrics 6 is supported on the following five platforms:
Developed and tested on Intel-based Apple Mac. All binaries are for Intel as well as PowerPC systems, but PowerPC has not been tested.
On Intel and AMD (i386, i686) processors.
On Intel and AMD (x86_64) 64-bit processors.
The only exception is X12ARIMA, which is only supported on 32-bits Windows.
There are three different CDs:
The full OxMetrics system consists of
Individual licences are available for the four OxMetrics components, or one enterprise licence covering all four.
A separate installation CD covers TSP/OxMetrics
Insert CD 1. If Autorun is on, the installation program is started automatically. Otherwise start install.exe from the root folder of the CD:
2exand select the relevant options. OxMetrics Enterprise has one integrated
installer only, so select that option when you have an Enterprise licence.
Note that all installations (except OxEdit) will ask for a valid licensing code.
By default, installation is to C:\Program Files\OxMetrics6 (or your language-specific location for program files). You may choose another location for the OxMetrics6 folder, but the same should be used for all components.
If you install OxMetrics normally, it will already be registered with the licence code used during installation, and you can start working immediately.
An unregistered version will show the registration dialog on screen. Enter the licensing code and your name in the respective fields (you must enter the code provided by your distributor).
An OxMetrics Enterprise licensing code enables most modules. Otherwise, many modules have their own additional licence code, which can be entered in the dialog. Once OxMetrics has the first registration code, the registration dialog will not appear automatically anymore. To enter additional codes, activate the Help/Registration menu.
An OxMetrics6 folder will be added to All Programs on the Start menu. This will have a shortcut to OxMetrics6, which is the primary way to run all OxMetrics programs. A shortcut to OxMetrics6 is also added on the desktop.
The OxMetrics folder structure is as follows:
\Program Files\ (default)
OxMetrics6\
algebra\ Algebra files
bin\ binary and related files
batch\ Batch files
data\ Data files
doc\ Help system
ox\ Root of Ox installation
bin\ binary files for Ox
doc\ hekp files for Ox
include\ Ox header files for Ox code
packages\ Ox packages
samples\ Ox sample code
...
OxEdit\ OxEdit files

All 64-bit Windows components are in the x64 folder of CD 1.
Insert CD 1. If Autorun is on, the installation program is started automatically. Otherwise start x64\install.exe from the CD:

To install G@RCH, PcGive and/or STAMP, double-click on Mac/oxmetrics600.pkg.zip from CD 2. The zip file will be unarchived, and shown selected as oxmetrics600.pkg in the Downloads folder. Double-click on oxmetrics600.pkg to see:
2exand follow the installation instructions, entering the licensing code when prompted.
This will also install the OxMetrics front-end.
To install Ox Professional, use Mac/oxpro600.pkg.zip from CD 3. This will also install the OxMetrics front-end.
If you install OxMetrics normally, it will already be registered, and you can start working immediately. A licence code entered during installation is available to all users of the computer (which would require a multiple-user licence). To add more shared licences, rerun the installer.
An unregistered version of OxMetrics will show the registration dialog on screen, as displayed above. Note that a licensing code entered when running the program as the current user is only available to that user. Enter the licensing code and your name in the respective fields (you must enter the code provided by your distributor).
An OxMetrics Enterprise licensing code enables most modules. Otherwise, many modules have their own additional licence code, which can be entered in the registration dialog. Once OxMetrics has the first registration code, the above dialog will not appear automatically anymore. To enter additional codes, activate the Help/Registration menu (current user only), or rerun the installer package (shared licence).
An OxMetrics6 folder will be added to Applications. Inside this folder you will find the OxMetrics and (if Ox is installed) OxEdit programs. Double click on these to run, or drag them to the Dock for convenience.
The OxMetrics folder structure is as follows:
/Applications/
OxMetrics6/
OxMetrics the OxMetrics program
OxEdit the OxEdit program
algebra/ Algebra files
bin/ further binary and related files
batch/ Batch files
data/ Data files
doc/ Help system
ox/ Root of Ox installation
bin/ binary files for Ox
doc/ hekp files for Ox
include/ Ox header files for Ox code
packages/ Ox packages
samples/ Ox sample code

To install G@RCH, PcGive and/or STAMP, use the RPM package
oxmetrics-6.00-1.i386.rpm
from the Linux folder on CD 2. This will also install the OxMetrics front-end.
RPM requires root access, so open a terminal window, and run the following command as superuser (su) to install (using the correct path to the rpm file if necessary):
rpm -ivh oxmetrics-6.00-1.i386.rpm
(to rerun the installation when it is already installed add --force; to upgrade use -Uvh as the command-line switch).
Use alien to install the rpm. Alien is not installed by default in Ubuntu, so install this first if necessary. Then issue the following command in a terminal window (using the correct path to the rpm file if necessary):
sudo alien -i -c oxmetrics-6.00-1.i386.rpm
To install Ox Professional, use oxpro-6.00-1.i386.rpm from CD 3. This will also install the OxMetrics front-end.
Installation of OxMetrics does not automatically prompt for a licensing code (unlike Windows or OS X) because this is against the RPM guidelines. When running OxMetrics for the first time, it will be unregistered and show the registration dialog on screen, as displayed above. Enter the licensing code and your name in the respective fields (you must enter the code provided by your distributor).
You can enter your code this way, but note that it will only be available to the current
user. That should be sufficient if you have a single licence. A multi-user licence
may need to be shared and requires the registration to be run as superuser.
Do do this, run the
/usr/share/OxMetrics6/register script from a terminal
as superuser.
An OxMetrics Enterprise licensing code enables most modules. Otherwise, many modules have their own additional licence code, which can be entered in the dialog. Once OxMetrics has the first registration code, the above dialog will not appear automatically anymore. To enter additional codes, activate the Help/Registration menu, or rerun the register script as superuser.
An OxMetrics and (if Ox is installed) OxEdit short-cut is added under Education as well as Development. Select these to run the programs. First time, it seems necessary to run OxMetrics once, then restart it, to get the client modules to work.
The OxMetrics folder structure is as follows:
/usr/share/

The installation procedure is the same as for 32-bit Linux, but now using
