Use the following instructions to install the product.
STEP 1:
After inserting the Absoft Pro Fortran CD-ROM into your CD Drive, you will see an icon labeled 'AbsoftProFortran95'. This is the installer you need to run.
To start the installation, double click on the icon. You will be prompted for your administrator name and password. After entering this information the installation process will begin and you will be prompted to enter your name, company name, and the serial number of your Pro Fortran software.
You must enter your name and the serial number to complete the installation.
Your Absoft Pro Fortran serial number can be found on the inside front cover of the CD case or in your delivery email.
STEP 2:
Absoft Pro Fortran relies on several components from the Xcode Tools package. Before using Pro Fortran, please make sure you have Xcode installed. Depending on the version of OS X you are using, there are a few possible locations for this package:
A) Check your OS X distribution media; you may already have an Xcode CD
B) Check for an Xcode package in the Installers folder located in Applications
C) You may download Xcode from http://www.apple.com
STEP 3:
If you wish to run Pro Fortran from the command line, you will need to modify your shell startup script to set up some environment variables. If you are using bash, add the following lines to the .bash_profile in your home directory: (If you don't have a .bash_profile, create one with these lines in it)
export ABSOFT=/Applications/Absoft11
export PATH=$ABSOFT/bin:$PATH
If you are using a different shell, refer to that shell's documentation for the correct syntax for setting and exporting environment variables.
You will need to restart the Terminal Application before these changes will take effect.
