Gwsetup



Gwsetup is a program which allows you to start with GeneWeb without having to type commands. If you use this program you can completely ignore the chapter GeneWeb - Getting Started reserved to the ones who prefer type commands.

To use gwsetup:

bullet under Windows, simply go to the main directory of your GeneWeb distribution and double-click on "gwsetup". A windows appears, asks you to choose your language and tell you to open some specific address in your Web browser. Warning: you must not delete the window which displays all that! Because in this window the program gwsetup runs, which dialogs with your Web navigator: if you delete the windows, the program gwsetup stops. You can reduce this window in the processes bar with the reduce button in the upper right corner of the Window.
bullet under Linux, if you installed the rpm package, you probably have nothing to do, the program gwsetup has been automatically launched. When installing the package, a message told you to open some specific address: you must use it each time you want to take care of your data bases.
bullet if you installed GeneWeb under Unix or Linux by another method, you can launch gwsetup just by typing "./gwsetup" in an xterm.

Then gwsetup allows you, using your Web navigator, to create a new database, or create a database from a GEDCOM file, or, later, to extract a GEDCOM file from your database, to change displaying parameters, and so on.
