Installing on Windows
Set the NeXtMidas Environment

- Set the NeXtMidas Environment Variables:
- NeXtMidas requires that the following environment variables be set:
- Set
USER to the user name (this is often the same
as their login, it is not their full name):
set USER=<name>
- Set
HOME to point to the user's home directory:
set HOME=<home_dir>
- Set
JAVAHOME to point to the Java installation directory:
set JAVAHOME=<java_install_dir>
- Set
NMROOT to point to the NeXtMidas installation directory:
set NMROOT=<nxm_install_dir>
- Set
NMSTART to point to the NeXtMidas startup script:
set NMSTART=%NMROOT%\os\dos\nmstart.bat
- Many users find it easiest to go in and add these as user or system environment
properties that get loaded each time a new shell is started. To set these, goto the
Control Panel -> System. On the System
Properties dialog select the Advanced tab and click the
Environment Variables button near the bottom. Under
User variables, click the New button to add the above
environment variables one at a time.
- If you are upgrading to a new version of NeXtMidas you just need to
change
NMROOT , the others will stay the same.
New feature (Since NeXtMidas 2.8.3):
A ready-to-use Windows batch file has been
provided that alleviates the need to manually set Windows environment
variables (above). The file is located at
<nxm_install_dir>\os\dos\runNeXtMidas.bat.sample .
To use the batch file, simply copy and rename the file (
<nxm_install_dir>\runNeXtMidas290.bat ) and modify the
JAVAHOME and NMROOT values within the file,
as you did in the steps above. You may then use the runNeXtMidas290.bat
file to start NeXtMidas, either through the DOS command prompt,
as a Windows shortcut, or by double-clicking the batch file
from Windows Explorer.
