Installation

Download the setup program for Windows, or the archive for Linux, from the Download page. Check the System Requirements first.

Windows

  1. Run DxAtlasProSetup-v.X.Y.exe, where X.Y is the version number. The setup needs administrator rights, and Windows asks for them when it starts;
  2. accept the Licence Agreement;
  3. if the .NET 10 Runtime or the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is not on the computer, the setup downloads and installs it;
  4. optionally, tick Create a desktop shortcut;
  5. when the setup finishes, leave Launch DX Atlas Pro ticked to start the program.

The program is installed in C:\Program Files\Afreet\DxAtlasPro, with a shortcut in the Start menu. The setup also registers the COM interface that lets programs written for DX Atlas 2 work with DX Atlas Pro; see the Developer's Guide.

To install a new version, run its setup over the old one. Your settings are kept.

Uninstalling

Uninstall DX Atlas Pro from Settings > Apps > Installed apps in Windows. Your settings are not removed; they stay in %APPDATA%\Afreet\Products\DxAtlasPro, and you can delete that folder by hand.

If DX Atlas is also installed on the computer, uninstalling DX Atlas Pro removes the COM registration that the two programs share, so reinstall DX Atlas afterwards for the programs that use its COM interface.

Linux

The Linux version is a self-contained archive: it needs no installation and no .NET Runtime.

  1. Unpack the archive to any folder, for example your home folder:

    mkdir -p ~/DxAtlasPro
tar -xzf DxAtlasPro-v.X.Y-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/DxAtlasPro

  2. Run the program:

    ~/DxAtlasPro/DxAtlasPro

To install a new version, unpack it over the old one. Your settings are kept in ~/.config/Afreet/Products/DxAtlasPro. To uninstall, delete the program folder and, if you do not need your settings any more, that folder too.
