geneweb
and gwd
script files have .bat
extension on Windows and .command
extension on macOS.
Note also that the minimal gwd
start script provided in this distribution folder installs a bases
folder in the distribution folder itself. You may keep this organisation or choose to maintain a separate folder (as shown in bases) which facilitates the installation of new revisions of GeneWeb (all local modifications stay untouched).
You may also rename the main folder to any name of your choice, but don't forget to use the same name if you use CGI mode in the cgi-bin/gwd.sh
launch script and the gw
link to the style and JavaScript files at the web_root.
