1.1. Common informations

In this section are described common informations about setup and localization for all the included programs

1.1.1. Software prerequisites

Precompiled binaries are targeted .net 4.0 and can run on any 4.x version of .net environment.

.net 4.0 is available for windows platforms from windows XP (and included in the base system starting from Windows 7).

Command line tools can run on Mono also in linux environment (I have tested them on a RaspberryPi 2 with Raspbian). Actually there is no complete WinForms library for Mono and the guis cannot work on mono.

All needed dlls are included in the binary distributions.

1.1.2. Setup

These programs don’t need special setup procedure: simply unpack all the files in a folder of your choice (please maintain the subfolders hierarchy) and run.

1.1.3. Localization

The programs can be localized in any language.

Currently only english and italian languages are available; the programs use the machine locale and if it is not available default to english.

You can force any program to a specific locale modifying the programname.config file that appear like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
  </startup>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="locale" value=""/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

The code of the requested locale can be specified in the value property of the line <add key="locale" value=""/>.

For example to force using english the line must be:

<appSettings>
  <add key="locale" value="en"/>
</appSettings>

To create a new locale please refer to the section localization of the Developers’ guide
