[Unix Binary Release • Windows Binary Release]

You can install the Wizard's Toolkit from source. However, if don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run Unix or Windows executable. Before you download, you may want to review recent changes to the the Wizard's Toolkit distribution.

These are the Unix variations that we support. If your system is not on the list, try installing from source.

the Wizard's Toolkit RPM's are self-installing. Simply type the following command and you're ready to start using the Wizard's Toolkit:

  rpm -Uvh WizardsToolkit-1.0.5-5.i386.rpm

For other systems, create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that directory, for example:

  cd $HOME

Next, extract the contents of the package. For example:

  tar xvfz WizardsToolkit.tar.gz 

Set the WIZARD_HOME environment variable to the path where you extracted the the Wizard's Toolkit files. For example:

  export WIZARD_HOME="$HOME/WizardsToolkit-1.0.5-5"

If the bin subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH environment variable. For example:

  export PATH; PATH="$WIZARD_HOME/bin:$PATH"

On Linux and Solaris machines set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WIZARD_HOME/lib"

On Mac OS X (Darwin) machines set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

  export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WIZARD_HOME/lib"

Finally, to verify the Wizard's Toolkit is working properly, type the following on the command line:

  make check

A series of regression tests are performed to ensure the Wizard's Toolkit is installed and running properly.

Congratulations, you have a working Wizard's Toolkit distribution under Unix or Linux and you are ready to use the Wizard's Toolkit to encipher, decipher, or digest one or more of your files or perhaps you'll want to use the Application Program Interfaces for C.

The Wizard's Toolkit should run on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP. It is recommended to use an NT-based version of Windows (NT4, 2000 or XP).

The Windows version of the Wizard's Toolkit is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. If you are not sure which version is appropriate, choose Wizard's Toolkit-1.0.5-5-windows-dll.exe.

To verify the Wizard's Toolkit is working properly, type the following in an MS-DOS Command Prompt window:

  validate passphrase

A series of regression tests are performed to ensure the Wizard's Toolkit is installed and running properly.

Congratulations, you have a working Wizard's Toolkit distribution under Windows and you are ready to use the Wizard's Toolkit to encipher, decipher, or digest one or more of your files or perhaps you'll want to use the Application Program Interfaces for C.
