Chapter 3 Installing AuthorIT 35
Minimum Computer Requirements
These are the minimum requirements for computers on which you install the
AuthorIT program.
System Requirements
Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP or 2003. Windows 2000 or higher recommended
Pentium 500 processor or better.
64Mb RAM; 128 Mb or higher recommended.
Standard VGA monitor; SVGA recommended.
Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
Microsoft Word 2000, Word XP or Word 2003 (required for Word document
publishing and importing only).
Note: AuthorIT can be run on a machine with lower specifications, however the
performance will not be optimized and some processes will be slower.
Runtime File System Space - Multi-user Editions
Allow approximately 60Mb depending on the number of options installed. This may
be split between client and server machines depending on installation configuration.
Allow More Space If You're Using JavaHelp
If you are publishing your documents in JavaHelp format, youʹll also need to install
the JavaSoft Runtime Environment on any computers which need to display
published JavaHelp files. Allow another 16Mb for this.
Suggested Windows Settings
To get the most out of AuthorIT it is recommended that you have the following
Windows Display Settings:
Display Resolution ‐ 800 x 600 or higher resolution.
Display Colors ‐ 256 or more colors
AuthorIT will run just fine without these settings ‐ however, some features may be
more difficult to use and some display elements may appear less attractive.
Default File Directory Structure Created on Client
When you install AuthorITʹs client‐based components, this default file directory
structure is created on your computer:
..AuthorIT
