which version of genfit have you downloaded, the one for Windows
or for Linux/Mac? In the first case, in the same package you
would have found also gfortran and gnuplot installation
packages. To test if the installation of gfortran is good, just
open a Command window and type gfortran. If the system gives you
the following answer "gfortran: fatal error: no input files" it
means that gfortran has been correctly installed. Otherwise, you
have to add in your PATH variable (that is under Commands and
Settings option of Window) the folder were gfortran has been
installed.

If so, after the start of the GUI, go under Settings and chose
the option Compile Fortran code.  Just wait up to the end of
compilation.

You have also to correctly install gnuplot. Under the GUI of
genfit, in the Settings/Option, you have to write the whole name
of the gnuplot application (including its path). Typically it is
the file wgnuplot.exe.

In the case of Linux/Mac you have to install gfortran and gnuplot
in you computer independently on the installation of genfit. Then
you have to write the full path name of the gnuplot application
under Settings/Option. And you have to push the option Compile
Fortran Code.

The manual of genfit is under the "docs" folder.

A lot of examples are present in the folder genfit_examples. To
test them, you have to open the file genA0XX,.dat in the folder
genfit_examples/basic.  For example, genA005.dat will show the
model #5, genA015 the model # 15 and so on.
