How to Install and Configure Altium

Installing SVN

You need an SVN client to use the SSI Altium repository. I know you're running Windows since you have Altium, so go install Tortoise SVN.

Here is a resource for some basic info regarding SVN and setup

Make sure you install the Windows context menu support.

Set up Tortoise: - Make a directory to store all of the SSI data - Right click and select "SVN checkout" - Point to the repository at: http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/stanfordspaceinitiative - Enter your credentials

When you are using the SVN, the most important commands are update, commit, lock, unlock, and add.

Installing SSI Libraries

This assumes you have set up Altium & the SSI SVN already.

• Open --> libraries --> intlib --> SSI.LibPkg
• Right click on package in the workspace area --> Compile Integrated Library
• Go to the right toolbar and click on 'Libraries' and then the 'Libraries...' button.
• Go under the second tab titled 'Installed' and click 'Import From File'.
• Navigate to your SVN folder --> libraries --> intlib --> [possibly inside a folder titled 'Project Output for SSI'] --> SSI.IntLib
• DONE!

If there are changes to the library package, you will need to recompile and reinstall (I think). When you commit in SVN, do not add the SSI.IntLib file Link title
