Installing the Economics Pack for Mathematica 6.03.0
This provides a short guide for installing the Economics Pack. Read Install.nb
for key information on installation and troubleshooting.
-
Download this *.zip file: TheEconomicsPack.zip
(ca 7.2 MB):
-
Unpack to your Mathematica $UserBaseDirectory in its \Applications\
subdirectory. This creates the ...\Applications\Economics directory
and its subdirectories (ca 27 MB). PM. In the past $InstallationDirectory
was used but now it is $UserBaseDirectory.
-
Alternatively, when you unpack elsewhere, you can also copy and paste the
Economics
directory to that location.
-
PM. On unpacking: Though Mathematica can read packages and notebooks
independently from various operating systems, there still is the issue
of transferring from one system to the other. However, modern expanders
can handle the *.zip format.
After expanding, start up Mathematica, go to the Help menu, click
on Documentation Center, go the the bottom right corner and click
on the Installed AddOns link. The pack should appear there and clicking
on it includes the guide and index in your help browser. This is the User
Guide in digital form similar to the User Guide book in printed form. Read
the chapter "Getting started" in the guide for more details. Properly installed,
you can call the TheEconomicsPack
palette from the palette menu.
This will give further assistence on using the Pack.
Properly installed, you can start the Pack by having Mathematica
evaluate Needs["Economics`Pack`"].
The Pack will ask for your password. You only need it once. Henceforth
it will be read from a small Password.txt file in the Economics directory.
To get your password, email cool@dataweb.nl, and you will receive your
password by reply email. Send me: (a) proof of your payment and (b) your
Mathematica
Licence number $LicenseID or your machine number $MachineID. If you send
your $LicenseID then you can use the Pack with your copy of Mathematica.
Holders of a single user licence for the Economics Pack on a network machine,
with a Mathematica Network $LicenseID, will have to send in their
$MachineID.Your $LicenseID and $MachineID can be found by evaluating these
symbols in Mathematica,
which can be done without the Economics
Pack installed.
Notes: (1) Proof of payment can come e.g. from the bank or the
reseller. (2) Network operators who want to install the Pack in
$InstallationDirectory must contact me for a different version. Above zip
only works for $UserBaseDirectory. (3) Note this Horror
Cabinet of other things that can go wrong.
