Installing on Linux

 

 

Download the archive which matches your Linux version and expand it on your computer, in the root folder.
You need to have GTK+2.0 installed on your machine to launch Ellié Computing Merge. The default installation includes the version of libstdc++6 (compiled with G++ 4), libiconv 1.9.1 and libuuid that Ellié Computing Merge needs to work.

If you install on a 64 bits systems, please read the README.txt file. Basically you need to install ia32 (Intel Architecture 32 bits) related files, as ECMerge is delivered as a 32 bits executable.

If you want to upgrade libraries, please follow the instructions in README.txt file that you will find in the installation directory (/opt/elliecomputing/ecmerge).
Ellié Computing Merge uses xsltproc by default to generate HTML reports and comparison statistics. Nevertheless, you can use any other XSLT processor.

• If you want ECMerge to be available to all users and have super user rights:
  
  Using the following command will install the soft:
  tar -Pxvjf ecmerge.linux.XXX.x86.tbz
  
  You can then run ECMerge from anywhere as "ecmerge" or "/opt/elliecomputing/ecmerge/guimerge"

• If you do not have super user rights, desktop menus and icons for ECM files will not be available, ECMerge will be fully functional however:
  
  Use the following command to install:
  tar -xvjf  ecmerge.linux.XXX.x86.tbz
  
  You can then run ECMerge as "~/opt/elliecomputing/ecmerge/guimerge"

 The evaluation of Ellié Computing Merge requires a Serial Number to run permanently. You can evaluate it for free without a serial number. More infos.
