Installation steps

Java

---

• The version must be 1.8.x.x To be sure, in the Windows search bar, type terminal, then click on Invite de commande

• Type java –version

• If the answer does not include 1.8.x.x, download the .exe file for Windows x64 Installer from the site Oracle.

• More details on CAPSIS, in Fast installation procedure and detailed links

Files required

---

• EcoAF requires 3 input files:

  • two text files treeSpecies, vegetationSpecies (describe the species, already supplied via the installer)

  • and a layout file in xxx.inv format, which is created by EcoAF during initialisation from a plot of land (set of polygons) in SHP format (obtained via QGIS, TELEPAC, IGN, etc.).

• Download presentations, an updated installer, sample layout files and plot plans, and demonstration sheets

Install capsis-setup-date-version.jar

---

1. Create a truc-ecoaf folder, but not capsis or ecoaf, as this would lead to confusion with the folders created by the installer! Put whatever you create there.

2. Create another Installeur-ecoaf-date folder in which to place the installer. The installer will put the CAPSIS and ecoaf module operating folders there.

3. Double-click on the installer and follow the installation steps, always keeping the default settings.

4. At step 4, select Installeur-ecoaf-date and answer yes to the following error message.

5. At step 8, check absolutely shortcut on desktop otherwise it will not work.

6. Rename the shortcut, adding the installer date.

It won't work if

• you place your files in an area where you would be asked for a password

• in the directory and name tree, there is a blank, an accent, a cedilla...
