Conzilla - The Concept Browser

How to reinstall

First, upgrading/reinstalling Conzilla is not as easy as it should be. We apologize for this. For your information, we do have plans to improve the situation until next version.

If you have Conzilla working on your machinge there is two relevant directories, the application and the settings directory:

  1. The application directory is where you unzipped Conzilla alternatively the directory where you did the Conzilla CVS checkout. You decide yourself the location of this directory. The application directory contains necessary jar-files, documentation and scripts.
  2. The settings directory of Conzilla is in your home directory. It contains your preferrences, your edit-sessions, and also by default your own context-maps if you have any.
    • On unix systems the settings directory is named .conzilla2 and is henceforth not visible by default, do a 'ls -a' in a terminal to see it.
    • On windows, the settings directory is called plainly conzilla2 and the home directory is 'Documents and Settings\user', where user is your username.

So, when you upgrade to a newer version of Conzilla2 you will need to:

  1. use a new applications directory where the new version is (unless you update and compile from CVS).
  2. do one of the following to update the session directory:
    • remove the sessions directory altogether so that it can be installed anew when you launch the new Conzilla.
    • move away the current sessions directory so that Conzilla can install it anew. Then copy back relevant files like the resolver.conf and / or contex-map containers you have made into the local directory (this requires some knowledge).
