Full installation of VW and Cormas

 

---

1. Install VW7.6nc

Cormas has been developped for the 7.6 non-commercial version of VisualWorks® (Cincom Systems). VW must be installed on your computer. As the 7.6 version of VW is not anymore available on Cincom web site, and on the condition that you agree not to use Cormas for commercial purposes, you can directly download vw7.6nc (version for Windows and for Mac os X) from Cormas site. It is recommended to unzip the archive directly under the root of your hard drive to minimize configuration problems that may arise with recalcitrant OS.

2. Install Cormas (VERSION : Cormas v.2023.02)

2a. Install Cormas for the first time

Download the latest version of Cormas (cormas2023_Full.zip, 21 MB) of February 2023. Unzip this Cormas folder into the directory VW7.6nc. The subdirectory 'cormas' is created. It already contains the cormas.im file (instructions are detailed here). Copy your models in the subdirectory VW7.6nc/cormas/Models/.

(Keep your old version of Cormas. If an older version of Cormas is already installed on your computer, you can keep this version. Just change the directory name 'cormas' to 'cormas_Old' or whatever.)

or 2b. Update your Cormas previous version

If Cormas is already installed, do a simple update by unzipping the cormas2023.zip (2 MB) in VW7.6nc/cormas/ directory (erasing the previous cormas files). Open cormas.im and select the menu: '?' and 'Update Cormas'.

or 2.c Alternative installation: from Store

When VisualWorks is installed, download Cormas from the "Public Repository" of Store. From the VW main window, connect to Store (Menu -> Store -> Connect to Repository...), then select  "Cincom Public Repository" and Connect. Thus, from Menu -> Store -> Published items, look for cormas and load it.
