Install and Uninstall

The software is distributed as a self-extracting installer (Windows and Linux) or as a DMG disk image (Mac).  The filename will include the version number; for example, version 4.0.1.0 would have a filename like BorinGSSetup_4010.exe (Windows).

For specific instructions for each platform, please see the appropriate section below.  Regardless of platform, you will need to locate the installation file - either where you saved it when downloading from our website, or your CD (if purchased on CD).

Windows

If installing from a CD, the installer should launch automatically.  If you have downloaded the installer, or if the CD does not launch the installer automatically, double-click on the installation executable (exe) file to launch the installer.

The installation process may prompt for an installation location.  You may either select the default location or specify your desired location.  Note that it is NOT recommended to install Version 4 in the same location as previous versions (Version 2 or 3), however it may be installed at the same time (in a different directory).

To uninstall the software, use the automated uninstall feature accessible through "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features," depending on which version of Windows is installed.

Note that administrative privileges may be required to install and/or uninstall the software.

Mac

The Mac version of BorinGS is distributed using a DMG disc image.  Double click the DMG file to mount the image, and drag the BorinGS.app bundle to the Applications folder.  Drag the mounted disc image to the trash to unmount it.

To uninstall the software, simply drag the BorinGS.app bundle from the Applications folder to the Trash.

Linux

Before you can launch the installer, you must first allow it permission to behave as an executable.  Right click the installer file and select "Properties."  On the "Permissions" tab, make sure that "Allow executing file as program" is checked.  Click "Close" to exit, and double click the installation file to launch the installer.

The installation process may prompt for locations of the program files.  You may either use the default location or specify your desired location.

To uninstall the software, use the automatic uninstaller located in the "Applications-BorinGS" program directory.
