+Some products may require some other prerequisite products to be
+installed. So the installation procedure has a special feature to
+automatically mark these products in the list view. For example, to
+install PyQt it is necessary to have gcc, Python, Qt and Sip installed,
+and these products will be also turned on when you check on PyQt. GEOM
+module requires KERNEL, GUI modules and such prerequisites as:
+OpenCascade, Python, Swig, Qt, etc.
</p>
-<p>In GUI mode the Installation Wizard provides two different options
-to install the SALOME platform: <span style="font-weight: bold;">basic</span>
-(which is default) and
-<span style="font-weight: bold;">advanced.</span> In the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">basic</span> mode the
-user should enter only the target installation
-directory. All other installation options are taken from the XML
-configuration file (see <a href="#Product_page1">Fig.2</a>):<br>
+<p>The dependencies between SALOME modules are managed in the
+following way:
</p>
-<div style="text-align: center;"><a name="Product_page1"></a><br>
-<img alt="Intro page" src="productpage1.png"
- style="width: 586px; height: 347px;"></div>
+<ul>
+ <li>If one module is unchecked, all modules which depend on
+this one are also unchecked automatically;</li>
+ <li>If one module is checked, all modules required for this one
+are also checked automatically.</li>
+</ul>
<p></p>
-<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Figure 2:</b> "Installation settings"
-page in the 'basic' mode<br>
+<p>Dependency between modules and prerequisites is realized in
+the following way:
</p>
-<p>To switch to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">advanced</span>
-option, click <i>"More..."</i> button (see <a href="#ProductPage2">Fig.3</a>
-).</p>
-<p>In the advanced mode you have the possibility to select products to
-be installed. Each product can
-have several options of installation: you have a possibility to use
-native product (provided with Linux distribution and installed in the
-system folders), install already precompiled binaries, build product
-from the sources or not install it at all. Possible options and default
-option are taken from the XML configuration file. You can mark the
-products you want to install by clicking the corresponding
-radiobuttons in the list view in the left part of the page. <br>
-Note, that
-some products can be installed only together with other products (or
-these prerequisite products should be already installed on your
-computer). The installation procedure
-has a special feature to automatically mark these products in the list
-view.
-For example, in order to install <b><i>PyQt</i></b> it's necessary to
-have
-<b><i>gcc, Python</i></b>,<b><i> Qt</i></b> and <b><i>Sip</i></b>
-installed.
-Therefore all these products will be also turned on when you check on <b><i>PyQt</i></b>.
-This feature can be switched off by clicking <i>"Auto set
-prerequisites products"</i> checkbox. Turn on this checkbox if you
-want all pre-requisite products to be automatically checked when you
-select some product to be installed. Turn off this checkbox if you
-want to disable this feature.<br>
+<ul>
+ <li>The choices made by the user in the list of modules have a
+direct impact on the list of prerequisites;</li>
+ <li>Whenever a module is checked, all the necessary
+prerequisites are checked automatically with no possibility for the
+user to uncheck them (see <a href="#Products_page3">Fig.7</a>
+below);</li>
+ <li>Whenever a module is unchecked, according to the remaining
+checked modules, the unnecessary prerequisites are unchecked
+automatically (see <a href="#Products_page3">Fig.7</a>
+below).</li>
+</ul>
+It is possible to check again the prerequisites, which have been
+automatically unchecked. In other words, it is possible to add more
+prerequisites than necessary.

+<h3><a name="finish_buttons"></a>Customizing <font color="#ff0000">Readme
+page</font> buttons</h3>
+The Installation Wizard allows customizing the layout of the last
+<i>"Finish installation"</i> page. If you want to add one
+or more
+buttons in this page to perform some specific actions at the
+end of the installation (for example, show the 'Release Notes' file by using
+Open Office) you can put an additional section to the XML
+configuration file. This is the <b><button></b>
+section (see <a href="#xml_files">here</a> for more
+details). <br>
<br>
-</body>
+To implement the action which will be performed when the user clicks on
+the button, you need to create a script and to put it into the
+<i><Install_Wizard_root_directory>/config_files</i>
+directory.<br>
+There are some obligatory functions which should be implemented in this
+script. These functions are automatically called by the Installation
+Wizard GUI.
+<ul>
+ <li><b>check_enabled()</b></li>
+</ul>
+This procedure is called by the Installation Wizard when the
+<i>"Finish installation"</i> page is displayed and the
+status of the
+buttons should be modified according to the installation options. This
+procedure should return <b>0</b> if the corresponding
+action can be
+performed and, thus, the button should be enabled. Otherwise, it
+should return <b>1</b> - in this case the corresponding
+button will be
+disabled.
+<ul>
+ <li><b>execute()</b></li>
+</ul>
+This procedure is invoked when the user clicks the button. This
+procedure should return <b>0</b> if the corresponding
+action is carried out
+successfully and <b>1</b> if any error occurs.<br>
+<br>
+The calling signature of the script is the following:<br>
+<b><font color="#000000"><product_script_name>
+<function_name> <target_directory>
+<temp_folder></font></b>
+<p><font color="#000000">where</font> <br>
+</p>
+<p><font color="#000000"><b><product_script_name></b>
+-
+the script name itself (retrieved from the XML configuration xml
+file);</font> <br>
+<font color="#000000"><b><function_name></b>
+- the name of the function;</font> <br>
+<font color="#000000"><b><target_directory></b>
+- the root target
+directory where the product is
+installed to;</font> <br>
+<font color="#000000"><b><temp_folder>
+</b> - the directory for the temporary files.</font> <br>
+<br>
+<b>Note:</b> The standard Installation Wizard buttons
+"Launch
+SALOME" and "Release Notes" are implemented with this
+feature. Refer to the scripts <b>start_salome.sh</b> and
+<b>release_notes.sh</b> for the sample implementation.<br>
+<br>
+<b>Note:</b> Any button (even standard) can be ignored by
+the
+Installation Wizard if the attribute <b><disable></b>
+in the XML
+configuration file is set to the "true" value.
