Software and Web Requirements
With the exceptions of the PAVA v1.0 script installation, and the requirement of ImageMagick,
the task of accessing PAVA v1.0 on a network requires no other
software on client systems other than a Web-browser.
System Requirements: PAVA v1.0 was written in PERL/CGI-script and MUST be:
- Installed as a server-side application from within a firewall on a Linux or OS X server;
- Accessed via Firefox or Safari exclusively (not accessible from Internet Explorer);
- Installed on a computer housing ImageMagick
- Full installation details are found in the README file on the downloadable installation
package, or in the
Quick-Start Guide, also located in the downloadable installation package.
The program is free to use, and there is no need for a license. The software is menu-driven, using a Web-based Graphical User Interface. This eases in the inputting of data, and the generation, evaluation and exportation of results.
