1.3 Installing Voyager-NG

You need to have a copy of MUI3.6/7 in order to use Voyager. You might be best installing MUI before you install Voyager. MUI can be found on the Aminet, many shareware CD-roms's, most PD libraries or on a magazine cover CD.

Remember to use your backup disks of of Voyager before you start installation..


1.31 Open the Installer


Open the Voyager main drawer and double-click the "Install_Voyager" icon.

When you click this icon a Voyager install GUI will appear on your Workbench. This GUI will guide you through the process of installation.


1.32 Setting the Install Mode

Before installation begins, you will be asked to specify your knowledge of the Amiga:

ModeInstallation
IntermediateThe process of installation is nearly automatic. You only need to select where you want to install Voyager, AmiTCP, MUI and then configure the AmiTCP GUI
ExpertSame as Intermediate mode except you are asked some extra questions about installation and further options will be presented to the "expert" user.


Our advice is to select Intermediate mode. Most of the questions asked in Expert mode are trivial and do not alter your use of Voyager. In fact, we would even recommend expert users to use the Intermediate installation.

Click "proceed" to start the installation.


1.33 Where do you Want to Install Voyager?

The installer will ask you where you want to install Voyager. Make sure the hard drive partition you want to install Voyager contains more than 1MB of free space. You need more than 1MB to use Voyager. Our recommendation is a hard drive with more than 10MB of space.

A Voyager drawer will be created on your hard drive. We recommend that you install to your work: or hd1: partition (ie. with a lot of space).

Voyager will be installed to this hard drive partition and copy some essential files to Workbench where needed.


1.34 What Version of Voyager Would You Like to Install?

You will be asked two choices. You can choose from the 68000 and 68030+ version of Voyager. If you have an 040 or 060 choose the 6030 version. If you have an 020 machine choose the 68000 version.


1.35 What Voyager-NG Documentation Would You Like to Install?

You can chose to install the full HTML based documentation (recommended) or just the readme. You can, of course, install both.

The readme contains very basic information and the history guide (not contained within the HTML documentation).


1.35 Which Registration File (Language) Would You Like to Install?

In order to register your software, you need to install the registration tool. This is available in a number of dgiferent languages.

You can also register other Vaporware products with this registration tool.


1.36 Installation Completed

A few more files will be installed and then you will be presented with an Installation Completed GUI. Reboot your machine and you will now be able to use Voyager-NG!
