Data Preparation Tool v2.8.0

Requirements

• You need Java JDK 6 (1.6) or later to run the tool. This needs to be installed in your device already, when downloading the default version of the tool. Alternatively, you can download the version with JRE, which will come with Java included in the bundle.

Installation

• Download the ZIP archive of the release and uncompress it locally on your own device, which is all you need to install the tool.

Launch the tool

• Windows: Double-click on the launch.bat file.
• Mac OS: Double-click on the DPTstandalone.jar file.
  • If you have downloaded the version with JRE included, double-click on the launch.command file instead.
• UNIX: Using your terminal launch the launch.sh file (i.e. type "sh launch.sh" – make sure that the file has at least the execution rights, "chmod +x launch.sh").

Manual of the tool

• The manual is available on the Archives Portal Europe website at https://www.archivesportaleurope.net/tools/for-content-providers/data-preparation/data-preparation-tool-manual/.
