Download and install Computree 5.0¶

The use of Computree implies acceptance of the Computree Charter, available here

To access the download links, you must be logged in as a user !

You can download Computree for Windows 7/8/10 64 bits

Unzip the archive where you want to install Computree.

You can also download the last windows beta here: http://rdinnovation.onf.fr/projects/computree-beta-version-base/files

For Linux, Computree must be compiled from source code, as shown here

Completing Installation on Windows¶

On Windows, just create a shortcut (right click, create a shortcut) to CompuTreeGui.exe executable file.

If you encounter difficulty running Computree:

Update the driver of your graphic card
Install MSVC 2015 Redistributable:
- Either by running the redist/vcredist_x64.exe file from the Computree main directory
- Or by running the downloadable file from Microsoft website: “Microsoft Download”: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?Id=48145

Known problem: Computree does not seem to work with Intel HD graphics cards.

Completing installation on Ubuntu¶

Under Ubuntu, creating the shortcut requires a few extra steps (Ubuntu version 13.04 and later).

Open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)
Go to the installation directory of Computree (use comands cd FolderName and cd .. to navigate into the directory hierarchy)
Type the following command:
```
sh createlauncher.sh
```

This creates a file named computree.desktop
Open a file explorer and navigate to the installation directory of Computree
Drag the file computree.desktop into the application launch bar or on the desktop

Otherwise it is always possible to launch Computree directly from a terminal by typing, in the installation directory of Computree, the following command:

sh CompuTreeGui.sh

Under Ubuntu, capital letters are considered separate letters. We must therefore respect the case in typing commands.

Adding plugins¶

To install plugin not included in the standard installation package:

Download (and unzip) the plugin library (.dll for Windows, .so for linux, taking care to take the version adapted to your system...)
Move the library in the /ComputreeInstall/plugins sub directory of the installation folder of Computree :

You must then restart CompuTreeGui for plugins are taken into account (or use Help/About plugins/Reload plugins menu).
