         **Except all other 3rd-party software (mostly .jar's 
           included for convenience) and data content (mostly
           Bayes Net Repository .bif files), which retain 
           their original copyright and license.
           

Basic Installation and Invocation
=================================

dd-inference/ provides the following subdirectories:

    src   All source code (.java files)
    bin   All binaries (.class files)
    lib   All 3rd party libraries (.jar files)
    files All supplementary files 

Always ensure that all .jar files in lib/ are included in your
CLASSPATH for both Java compilation and at Java runtime.  We highly
recommend that you use Eclipse for Java development:

    http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

In Eclipse the CLASSPATH libraries can be set via 

    Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries Tab

For running this code from a terminal, we provide two scripts

    run     For Windows/Cygwin and UNIX/Linux systems
    run.bat For the Windows CMD prompt

You can pass up to 10 arguments to these scripts as required.


Instructions for using Decision Diagrams and Prob. Inference
============================================================

See README.BAYES_NET and README.MDP in directory 'src/prob'.


GraphViz Visualization
======================

To enable Java Graphviz visualization:

- Download and install GraphViz on your system (you must use GraphViz 
  version 2.28 or earlier):
 
  http://www.graphviz.org/

- Make sure "dot" and "neato" (including ".exe" if running on Windows)
  are in your PATH, i.e., you can execute them from any home directory

Run graph.Graph.main() and verify that a cleanly formatted Java window
displaying a graph appears.  If so then other code which uses the
Graph class should run properly.
