Lab Administrator Install Info

Before you install any copies of Mathematica on computers in one of the ACC computer labs, please check with Marcus McGuff before doing so. We have a limited number of concurrent licenses available, so we are trying to be careful how many open access computers we install on. To date, our plans are for installation of Mathematica in the following locations:

Math faculty offices
Math computer classrooms
Learning Labs computers (up to 3 machines per campus)

To install Mathematica in your lab (click here for step-by-step instructions for installation on a single Windows machine):

If you already have an older copy of Mathematica on your machines, please uninstall it first.
Locate the server newton on the network (I use Find Computer for this) and open it. (You should not need a login or password to do this.)
Open the mathematica folder inside it.
Then, either open Win or Mac, depending on what operating systems you are running.
The next step depends on whether you are doing a small number of installs or a larger number (more than 3, say):
- If you are only doing a few installs, double-click on the Setup.exe file (icon is a box with a bunch of papers in it).
- If you are doing more installs, please copy all the files in this directory onto one of your local machines and do the install from there, since we have limited bandwidth and server resources.
Choose Network based as the Type of license. and type in euler.math.austincc.edu as the Name or IP address of license server.
Otherwise, I would suggest just taking the defaults for everything else.

Please contact Marcus McGuff or the math department's computer techs at mathlabs@austin.cc.tx.us if you have any problems or questions.
