 1 Packages And Archives

 AdvaS is available as a tar.gz archive and as separate RPM packages for 
 Mandrake 9.2, 10.1 and Fedora Core 2. The latest version can be retrieved from 
 
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/advas
    
 2 Supported Operating Systems / Requirements

 Advas should run on any more recent i386-compatible machine using 
 GNU/Linux, UNIX or FreeBSD. Specific changes for other OS are to be done.
 Advas is written in python (http://www.python.org) and requires the
 python 2 libraries and interpreter to be installed.

 Currently, advas needs about 270K of disc space including documentation
 and examples.

 3 How To Install

 Advas is designed be used as an additional python module. 

 1) Download the latest version and copy the archive in a directory of 
    your choice. 

 2) tar.gz archive:
    Unzip and untar the archive using

    tar -xzf advas-x.x.x.tar.gz

    whereas x.x.x represents the current AdvaS version.

    As a result, a new directory will be created ("advas-x.x.x"). This
    directory contans the advas library as well as this documentation.

    RPM archive:
    For simplicity you may use this RPM package. As a superuser you
    may install the archive using

    rpm -i advas-x.x.x.rpm

    whereas x.x.x represents the current AdvaS release.

 3) That's all - now advas is ready to work :-)
