OpenTaxSolver is available as source-code for compilation on all platforms. Binary executables are also provided for Microsoft Windows (which often lack compilers). Instructions (Areadme.txt) and examples are included in all versions.
For Linux/Unix:
Unpacking
Packages are gzip'd tar files. To unpack, tar xvfz package.tar.gz . (Older versions of tar may need two steps:
gunzip package.tar.gz and tar xvf package.tar ).
Will unpack into a directory of the same name. (To see contents prior to unpacking, tar tvf package.tar .)
Simple compiling instructions included in packages and header comments.
For Microsoft Windows: Binary executables for Microsoft Windows. Pre-compiled. Also includes source, examples and instructions.
Package versions for Microsoft platforms are zipped. Use unzip. Again, unzips into self-contained directory of same name. (Uninstall by simply deleting files in the directory. No registry entries are made.)
Back versions of OpenTaxSolver from previous years can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentaxsolver/ Typical package sizes are 20-50 KB (small, not megabytes).
