RationalPlan is a cross platform application, that means it can be installed on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix and all other Java enabled platforms.

For purchased versions, when you start the program for the first time, a window will appear asking for a license file.

Click on Browse button and select your licensed key file. The window will change as follows:

Now press on Continue button to launch the application.

2.1. Windows installation

RationalPlan should run on any Windows version from Win98 above including Vista. To run it on Windows you should download or purchase one of the .exe files. After double-clicking the file, just follow the installation steps and make your own settings (for the destination folder and shortcuts) if needed.

2.2. Mac OS X installation

On Mac platform our RationalPlan product suite requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. No previous Mac version is supported. The package distribution is delivered as a .dmg file (Macintosh OS X Disk Copy Disk Image File). Just double-click on it and a window as below will appear that will contain a link to the "Applications" folder from Mac and our product file.

You can either run it by double-clicking on the second file or you can install it. For installation just drag and drop the application file (the one from the right) over the "Applications" folder. It will be copied there and you will be able to run it from there at any time.

NOTE: If you are logged in on an acount without administrative rights before the file copy will begin you will be prompted to give your administrative user and password.

2.3. Linux installation

For Linux platform we deliver a .zip distribution file. The installation is of unzip and run type. All you have to do is to download one of the .zip files and after download is complete just unzip to the folder you want to install the application. You will find a RationalPlan.sh script that must be run from a terminal/console with this command:

sh RationalPlan.sh

The application should start.
