This directory contains files and information needed to install MMAlpha. More information is available here (mirrored in Appendix E of the QuickStart document.)
A few words of explanations. When you start Mathematica (on any system), Mathematica executes the file named init.m which is present in a directory called the base directory, at least, if such a file exists. The address of this directory, which depends on your operating system, is obtained by evaluating the variable $UserBaseDirectory in Mathematica.
To run MMAlpha, you should write such an init.m
file and put it in your base directory. This file could contain,
at least:
Get[ Environment["MMALPHA"]<>"/config/init.m" ] ;
which will read the init.m file contained in this directory.
You could also add here additional Mathematica instructions.
For example, the following
$myNotebooks = ".../myNotebooks";
$myMasterNotebook = "myMaster.nb";
that would
set the MMAlpha variables $myNotebooks and $myMasterNotebook
which are used to indicate to MMAlpha where your own notebooks and
your master notebook are located (see explanations in the
master notebook of MMAlpha, in section More).
