In-Depth Information
When you have chosen the license level, you will first need to register with the
Marmalade website by providing an e-mail address and password.
The e-mail address you register will be linked to your license and
will be used to activate it later. Make sure you use a valid e-mail
address when registering.
Once you are registered, you will be taken to a web page where you can choose the
level of license you require. After confirming payment, you will be sent an e-mail
that allows you to activate your license and download the Marmalade installer.
Downloading and installing Marmalade
Now that you have a valid license, head back to the Marmalade website using the
same URL we used earlier.
1. If you are not already logged on to the website, do so using the Login link
at the top-right corner of the web page.
2. Click on the Download button, and you will be taken to a page where
you can download both the most recent and previous releases of the
Marmalade installer. Click on the button for the version you require, to
start downloading it. Once the download is complete, run the installer
and follow the instructions. The installer will first ask you to accept the
End User License Agreement by selecting a radio button, and will then
ask for an installation location.
3. Next, enter the file location you want to install to. The default installation
directory drops the minor revision number (so version 6.1.1 will be installed
into a subdirectory called 6.1). You may want to add the minor revision
number back in, to make it easier to have multiple versions of Marmalade
installed at the same time.
4. Once the installer has finished copying the files to your hard drive, it will
then display the Marmalade Configuration Utility, which is described in
greater detail in the next section. Once the Configuration Utility has been
closed, the installer will then offer you the option of launching some useful
resources, such as the SDK documentation, before it exits.
It is possible to have more than one version of the Marmalade
SDK installed at a time and switch between versions as you need,
hence the advice regarding the installation directory. This becomes
very useful when device-specific bugs are fixed in a new version
of Marmalade, but you still need to support an older project that
requires a different version of Marmalade.
