CSE 203 Instructions for Running Phrogram on Your Own Computer


To run Phrogram on your own computer, it needs to be running the Microsoft Windows operating system.  During installation of Phrogram, it needs to be hooked up to a fast Internet connection.  Installation of Phrogram involves the following steps, which may take the better part of an hour to perform.  The first two steps are optional.  The third step will automatically do the first step, if necessary.  The second step is truly optional, and could be done later.
  1. Visit http://phrogram.com/
  2. Click on "Buy Phrogram".
  3. Study your choice, deciding between Phrogram Express and Phrogram Academic.  Phrogram Express is installed in all of our CS&E department labs.  Phrogram Academic has extra features that you won't find in our labs.
  4. Download and run the downloaded Phrogram installer on your computer.
  5. Use the registration key you obtained in step 3 above to register your copy of Phrogram.  From the "Help" menu, choose "Enter registration key".
  6. Do either one of the following (by "merge" in the following I mean to copy the source folder into the place where you find the existing folder and to add any files from the source folder to the existing folder that aren't already present, and to replace all files that are already present.):
    1. Download and Unzip My-Phrogram-Files.zip.  Merge the My Phrogram Files in My Documents on your own computer from this one.  Make sure the result has the letters M, P, and F capitalized in My Phrogram Files.
    2. Use a USB drive to copy My Phrogram Files from the K:\ drive in a lab to merge into the My Phrogram Files in My Documents on your own computer.
