How to run BESTGUI

UNIX systems

The standard way to run BESTGUI is to type:

$ bestgui

at the command prompt.

If you have BESTGUI installed in a non-standard place (i.e if you used the --prefix option at installation time) please make sure that the PREFIX/bin directory is in the system search path by checking the PATH environment variable. As an alternative you can use the full path name from the command shell:

$ PATH/TO/BESTGUI/BIN/bestgui

What stated above also applies if you want to run BESTGUI from the source directory without installing it (see Running BESTGUI without installation). The only difference is that the BESTGUI executable is placed in the scripts directory instead of bin.

If you have BESTGUI installed in a standard location you can also use the system menu of your Desktop Environment to launch the program by clicking on the BESTGUI icon.

WindowsTM

If you have BESTGUI installed in a standard location you can run it using the Windows Programs Menu by clicking on the BESTGUI icon.
