# Then, on the domain for the website, the user needs to make two directories in the webroot: 'lib' and 'css'. In addition the distribution directory CUicons must be copied as a whole - with contents - to the webroot.
# Updating ''CumulusUtils'' is done by completely overwriting the contents of the installation directory utils as if it were an installation. If you want to save the old installation, make a copy of the utils directory.
# <s>NOTE a seemingly important issue: the datafiles (the naming and the contents) are dependent for their format on the locale / country setting of your machine. If you install and run from scratch and do not bother CMX will take the country setting from the settings of the computer. You may also give the country setting on the commandline when starting CMX. However, it is important to know that CumulusUtils does not handle datafiles with mixed languages and produces lots of errors. When starting with a new install this is not a big deal. But if you have years of old data which you wish to analyse as well you must consider carefully which country setting of CMX is required. Note that the language setting of CumulusUtils is for display/language handling only and does not affect the reading of the data in any way apart for the monthly log file name. If you use a different locale than the one you use for CMX, the please fill in the parameter ''MonthsOfMiracleAndWonder'' (section [General]) with the abbreviated filenames of the locale you use for CMX.</s>
# From version 4, the logfiles are written as invariant and the above striked through note has become invalid
# From version 4.7 (.NET 10) there are changes in the database which require CMX to run before CUtils 8.2.0 can run.
When installed you are ready to run. The first run after an install or an update MUST be without [[Thrifty - Cutils Command Qualifier|Thrifty]].
To avoid confusion it is left to the user to edit and maintain the files for use either on the website or on the CumulusMX machine.
When creating website the file ''CutilsHead.def'' may have importance to you. See [[Website Generator|Website]]
=== Manually installing without FTP ===
CumulusUtils is - up to v6.x.y - a [https://www.mono-project.com/ ''mono''] executable.
From v7.0.0 and up it runs under [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/ ''dotnet (.NET 8)''].▼
▲From v7.0.0 and up it runs under .NET 8 [https://
Both environments are very different and not interchangeable. However running CumulusUtils is pretty similar on both environment and mono and dotnet can co-exist on the same machine. See the CMX installation on how to install either mono or dotnet. CumulusUtils assumes the correct installation of either environment.▼
From v8.2.0 and up it runs under .NET 10 [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/core/install/linux-scripted-manual#scripted-install ''Follow this link when on Linux''] (and this has changes to the database which require CMX to run before CUtils can successfully run).

After selecting the required tables you need to select the variables they may contain:
'''NOTE: You may disable some fields later when you are more acquainted with the system. Disabling tables and field can be especially useful when you are worried about size of transfer and provider limits.'''

#CumulusUtils can output for many languages. See the specific page on [[Language in CumulusUtils|language in CumulusUtils]].
#Development of CumulusUtils started in 9<sup>th</sup> of August 2019 with an initial commit of the Top10 written in C. Development changed rapidly to C# with an initial commit of Top10 on November 19 2019 of version 0.7.0. The rest of the history can be read in the [[Release Notes|release notes]].
#Users can present themselves on the CumulusUtils [[Map - Users of CumulusUtils|usermap]]. Although optional for modules users, the author sees it as payment for the usage of the tool, so please put yourself on the map. For website users it is automatic and obligatory. The URL needs to be filled in by yourself in the inifile. When not a complete website, please fill in the URL to the page you use CUtils for.
#In case of problems there exists [[Errorlogging]].
