6. Getting Started

Once you have unpacked the .zip or .tar.gz distribution, consult the Readme file. If you are upgrading consult also the Version file for update notices.

The test directories provide examples. Best is to start with a simple example such as in test/page and test/album.

You may need to adapt the xbook.bat|sh and xdoc.bat|sh scripts for your local installment but in some cases (specifically on Unix) they may work out-of-the-box.

More complex examples are in test/doc and test/book. Super-users may want to look in how to extend XBook in test/extend.
