# TDF Plan: How to install

MacOSX: step-by-step To install TDFPlan on your computer simply drag the entire TDF_Plan folder from the distribution disk (or download location) into your computer's applications folder. In the MacOSX example above, the TDF_Plan folder goes in the Applications folder which is on the boot drive Macintosh HD of the computer named MacPro. For TDFPlan to run correctly a number of support files and folders must be located in the same folder as the application itself. All of the support files are "cross-platform", ie the same files are used by both the Windows and MacOSX versions of the application. The application folder should be named TDF_Plan. Inside the "TDF_Plan" folder must be the following items: TDFPlan.exe (the Windows version of the application) TDFPlan Libs (a folder containing .dll libraries used by the Windows version) TDF PlanX.app (the MacOSX version of the application) TDFDatabase.rsd (the local SQL database file) ReadMe.txt (this file) TDFData (a folder containing biological data and settings presets) TDFPatients (a folder in which to save local copies of patient files) TDFStaff (a folder containing the names and email addresses of the doctors and other treatment planning staff. These files can be edited from the TDF preferences window or can be edited manually with a text editor) TDFUserGuide (the HTML user guide is in this folder) TDFHolidays (the files in this folder are used to localize the TDF calendar for different countries. These files can only be created using a text editor (e.g. I happen to like using BBEdit on MacOS). Support for additional countries is available upon request.) The TDFPlan application will also create various preference settings files in the "Preferences" folder used by your computer's OS. Please do not modify these files. | Windows XP and Vista: step-by-step For Windows computers, put the TDF_Plan folder into the Program Files folder that is on the C: drive of My Computer. This link takes you to a step-by-step example using the Vista operating system.
