Can somebody give me a walkthrough for how to install this including all the files that need to be installed before I install this?
I went to this website http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp This site shows what I need to download first in order to download PSPP. http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/pspp/INSTALL?revision=1.16&root=pspp&view=markup&pathrev=MAIN The problem is I tried starting by downloading cygwin but something screwed up with the installation. I need to start over. First I'll have to find all the cygwin files and delete them(unless they will be automatically removed when I try installing a second time). Only this time I need to know what to do every step. I don't know what words like "BIN" and "SRS" mean or which one to check and which programs to check in the first place in that setup. The biggest stumbling block is how do I tell it was installed correctly? At first the program at least opened, not sure if it would have worked when I downloaded the rest of the programs. I somehow wound up with lots of folders scattered across my desktop so I tried putting them all in a single folder and now when I click the program it flashes for a second on my screen and then disappears, so I guess putting them all in another folder messes it up. I need a walkthrough. This website does not have detailed enough instructions. Can someone who has done this please help me? This is especially important because I have this class and we have homework assigned that uses the SPSS program. I heard on another site that pspp will work for what spss works for except pspp can be downloaded for free and spss can only be downloaded for free as a demo and costs hundreds of dollars to download to keep. I can use the campus computers to work on my homework but that's not always convenient because the computers aren't always available. I like working on my homework when it's convenient. If I find I can't sleep I work on homework but in the middle of the night the computer lab is closed. ONE very important thing I need to know before starting this though will PSPP download .sav files? I assume it will if it's the same kind of program as SPSS. There is a website I'm supposed to download these files from in order to do my homework, but when I tried I did not have the right program to open it. So unless it can't download .sav files(then if you know please tell me what can) I'd like someone to give me a step-by-step walkthrough. I'm not a programmer. I don't know what all these strange words mean and even when I try looking it up on the internet I'm still confused on what to do. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/PSPP-Installation-Step-by-Step-Walkthrough-Please-tp27593073p27593073.html Sent from the Gnu - PSPP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
