Install on Windows

Prerequisite

Liogo is released in two versions: one for the .NET Framework 2.0 and one for the .NET Framework 3.0. Both versions have same functionnalities but the .NET 3.0 version will give you a better graphic experience. Both versions could work either on Windows XP or Windows Vista. Only the .NET 2.0 version works also on older Windows operating systems: Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Windows 2003.

On Windows Vista, you don't need any pre-requisite to use Liogo. On Windows XP and others Windows operating systems, depending on which program you previously installed on your machine, you could need to install the .NET Framework first:

For the .NET 2.0 version, you need the .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable package. You can download it here,
For the .NET 3.0 version, you need the .NET Framework 3.0 redistributable package. You can download it here .

Install on Linux

Prerequisite

Liogo is built on .NET Framework. So, on Linux, you need to have Mono to use Liogo. Mono is an open source and cross-platform version of the .NET Framework. Liogo needs Mono 1.2.5 or more, you can download Mono here. Mono works on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS and Unix but Liogo has only been tested on Linux.

Install Steps

Download, gunzip and untar the Liogo file en-liogo-0.4-bin-linux-mono-1.2.tar.gz in any directory (for example in a liogo directory under your home directory: "/home/yourname/liogo"),
Open a command line and use "su" to logon as a super user,
Edit file "/etc/mono/config" using a text editor ("vi" for example),
Add the line <dllmap dll="i:gdiplus.dll" target="libgdiplus.so.0" os="!windows"/> at the end of file:
