== Completely new installation == | |||
Create a new directory (recommended name CumulusMX) and unzip the contents into it. | |||
== Changing from Cumulus 1 to MX == | |||
* If you want to run Cumulus MX with your existing Cumulus data, take a back up copy of your existing Cumulus directory, and then unzip Cumulus MX into the original Cumulus folder. | |||
* Alternatively, create a new directory (recommended name CumulusMX) and unzip the contents into it. Then copy over your existing data files and your Cumulus.ini file, and any other configuration files that you may have created (e.g. strings.ini, twitter.txt etc). If your "Cumulus.ini" was actually called "cumulus.ini" you should rename it to start with a capital letter. | |||
== Requirements for running on Windows == | |||
To run MX on Windows, you need .NET 4.5 installed. This is only available for newer versions of Windows. | |||
== Requirements for running on Linux and OS X == | |||
You will need to install the Mono runtime. | |||
* For OS X, you can download this here - http://www.mono-project.com/download/. | |||
* How you install on Linux depends on the flavour of Linux you are running. There are download links for Linux at the same URL, but it is often easier to use a package manager, which will download and install it automatically. | |||
**For example, in 'Raspbian' on the Raspberry Pi, you can install mono with these commands: | |||
<pre> | |||
sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get update | ||
sudo apt-get install mono-complete | sudo apt-get install mono-complete | ||
</pre> | |||
Make sure that you have the mono-complete package installed. | Make sure that you have the mono-complete package installed. | ||
If you have a Raspberry Pi 2, there is a later version of Mono available, which you may find works better that the one in the standard distribution, particularly if you use decimal commas. Mono 3.2.8 (which is the default in some Linux distributions) will not work if you use commas for decimals, as in some countries. | **If you have a Raspberry Pi 2, there is a later version of Mono available, which you may find works better that the one in the standard distribution, particularly if you use decimal commas.

On Linux you will need library libudev.so.0 which may not be installed by default. Installing package libudev0 may resolve this. There may be issues if you are using a 64-bit version of Linux. I'm not sure what the resolution is at the moment, if this is the case. | **On Linux you will need library libudev.so.0 which may not be installed by default.
