Advanced User:

# If you have already installed the  previous version of Osdag in your system then skip step 1) & 2) and just run the new downloaded Osdag_setup_x86.exe.

Criteria:
=========
If you satisfy one of the following two conditions, then you will need to follow a different installation procedure.  
Condition a) You already use Anaconda/Miniconda
Condition b) You have already installed a version of python on your computer AND you wish to keep that as the system default instead of the Miniconda(/Anaconda)-python

Installation:
=============
1) Run wkhtmltox-0.12.4_msvc2015-win32.exe
    # Follow on-screen instructions AND select the following option in the Setup:
    a) Destination Folder: ["C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf"]
    
2) Miniconda
    a) If you already are a Miniconda/Anaconda user:-
        i) Navigate to the "dependencies" folder in the installation-directory
        ii) Open the "install_osdag_dependencies.bat" in a text editor and  
        iii) Manually install the missing python packages listed in the .bat file, through conda.            
        iv) In Step 3 ("Run Osdag_setup_x86"), when the installer prompts if you have Miniconda installed, just close the window and let the installer continue.
    b) If you do not have Miniconda installed and are OK with installing it and but do not wish to Register Anaconda as the default Python 2.7:
        i) First install Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86.exe (same as the basic user) BUT follow the steps in the "Running Osdag" section below, instead of the "Running Osdag" steps of the basic user.
3) Run Osdag_setup_x86.exe and follow on-screen instructions

        c) ProgramData    

Running Osdag:
=============
You need navigate to the Osdag-installation folder, in a command prompt, and use the following command to run Osdag:
    python osdagMainPage.py
    # You need to replace 'python' in the above command with python from the miniconda-package, if you opted not to register it as the system default python
You may choose to create a batch file that contains the above command and create a shortcut to Run Osdag.

2. Ubuntu Installation

System Requirements:

Operating System: 
    Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) and later; 64-bit
Hardware Requirements:
    Minimum 4 Gb RAM
    Minimum of 2 Gb of free disk space

This setup script is for machines running Ubuntu that do not have Miniconda2.  
If you have Miniconda2 already installed on your computer, please skip Step/Command 1 and proceed to Step/Command 2.


Installation steps:
===================
  Extract the downloaded installer using the Archive Manager/File-Roller, or using the following command on the bash prompt: tar -xvf Osdag_ubuntu_installer.tar.gz

  # If you have already installed the  previous version of Osdag in your system then skip Step/Command 1) and just run the new 2-install-osdag.sh.

  In bash, navigate to the extracted installation folder containing the shell scripts (the folder that contains this README file)
  and a folder named Osdag, and enter Command 1 and Command 2 given below.  

  Note: After entering Command 1, while installing Miniconda2, you will be asked whether you wish to set the system default python
  to Miniconda2. You need to agree to this, in order for the second command to work. Alternatively, you may manually execute the 
  steps in the script 2-install-osdag.sh, and specify the python version while calling pip to install pdfkit.

  Step/Command 1:
      bash 1-install-Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
  Step/Command 2:
      bash 2-install-osdag.sh


Running Osdag:
=============
  After the installation is complete, you may copy/move the extracted Osdag folder to a location of your choice (say, directly under your home folder). 
  You can run Osdag in two ways
  1) Using the Osdag Launcher:
      To run Osdag, navigate to the Osdag folder, double click on the file named Osdag (without any extension). 
      This file is different from Osdag_icon.ico (although both will show the Osdag logo in the grid icon view mode).
      If you are using the Unity desktop, you may also pin this launcher to the launcher sidebar.

  2) Using the Command:
      In the bash prompt, navigate to the Osdag directory and enter the following command python osdagMainPage.py

  Note that, Step/Command 2 will work only if the system default python is the one installed through Miniconda2.
  Alternatively, you may specify the (installed) python you wish to use, in Command 2.
