- Extract the file that you received when you purchased Ambience, or when you downloaded a trial version. For example,
tar -xvzf elx-ambience-3.0.0.tgz. This extracts all the files into a directory calledElixirAmbience.If you downloaded a zip file, extract it with the extractor installed on your system. Linux users can run the command:
unzip zip-file-name.zip
to unzip the file. Substitute the correct zip file in the unzip command.
Note
Windows users should not extract the files into the\Program Files\folder, as Microsoft controls the permissions of this subtree to prevent programs writing there. As the generic installation writes into theElixirAmbience\datafolder by default, this can cause access denied problems when working with regular user accounts.. Use any other folder (For example:C:\) to extract the files. - Open a command prompt or terminal and navigate to the
