This is an old revision of the document!
Ensure that you have been provided or have downloaded the correct ZIP file version for your operating system. All file names will include both the Operating System (along with whether the file is 32 or 64 bit), and the software version.
At this time, Esferico ltd. have released desktop versions of Pergamon MU for Windows (v7.1 SP1 onwards), MacOSX, and Linux. See the bottom of this document for minimum specifications.
This version of the Pergamon Mu application has been provided in a conventional Zip file format and without an installer. As Pergamon does not require special information to be written into the operating system (e.g. Registry entries), there is little to no advantage in providing an installer and may actually hinder the install process.
If you have been provided with a pre-licensed database, you do not need to follow the instructions in this section. In order to create a new database: 1. Start the PergamonMu software by either method described in the last section. 2. Select what type of database you require –you are currently permitted to choose either an encrypted standalone (using SQLite) or a preconfigured network installation using a central database server (at this time, PostgreSQL only). 3. Select ‘Next’ to start the installation process for SQLite, or to enter the database connection details in the case of a database server (omitted in these instructions). 4. Once completed*, close the window and re-start the software. *Special note: Most operating systems give priority to internal processes rather than updating the screen. On occasion, on some workstations, this database creation process appears to ‘hang’ or the message ‘not responding’ is displayed. Please ignore this message – this is simply the operating system interpreting the process incorrectly and it will correct itself after only a few seconds.
