The tool is distributed as a zip-file, named: '''''APE_data_preparation_tool_2.6.1.zip''''', where the number indicates the version of the tool. The most recent version of the tool (v2.6.1) is available for download over [http://dpt.archivesportaleurope.net/APE_data_preparation_tool_2.6.1.zip here].

The only requirement that is needed for running the tool is that you need to have Java 6 or higher installed on your computer. You can verify whether Java is installed on your computer, and which version, by launching the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux) and typing: '''''java -version'''''. On a MacIntosh computer you can go to 'system preferences' and see if there is a Java icon there, if so, Java is installed and you can click on the icon to check the version.

Once you have downloaded the zip-file please do the following:
+
 
+
* Uncompress the zip-file with winzip, 7-zip, unzip or a similar tool towards a location of your choice to create the executable and auxiliary files: two folders (named: '''''lib''''' and '''''xsl''''') and five files:

* To launch the tool please perform the following steps according to your operating system (OS):
+
** Using Windows: double-click on the file named '''''launch.bat''''',
+
** Using Linux: use your terminal tool to launch the file named '''''launch.sh''''' (i.e. first make sure that the file has at least the execution right on your system using this command: '''''chmod +x launch.sh''''', then type in your terminal tool: '''''sh launch.sh'''''),
+
** Using MacIntosh: double-click on the file named '''''APE_data_preparation_tool-jar-with-dependencies.jar'''''.
+
<br/>
+
* At the first launch of the tool, a dialogue box will appear, asking first for your country code (2-letter country code, in capital characters, compliant to iso3166), then for an identifier for your archival institution: please enter your registered ISIL-code identifier (if you have one, else you will still need to enter a valid iso15511 code).
+
 
+
''Note: you can change those anytime you want in the options section of the tool.''
+
 
+
''Note: be aware that the dialogue box might stay in the background which might make it 'invisible' at first.''
+
 
+
''The ISO standard 15511 consists of up to 14 characters, usually starting with a two-letter country code (or a one-three- of four-letter organisational code), followed by a hyphen, followed by an alphanumeric code for the single institution. The latter can contain the digits 0 to 9, the characters A to Z and the characters -, / or \.''

+
* The program should now be running (see figure 1 below), if that’s not the case, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
+
* The folder now contains 4 folders (apeoptions, lib, output and xsl) and 6 files.
