Installation

• Download: TheEconomicsPack.zip (ca 10 MB):
• Unpack to your Mathematica $UserBaseDirectory in its \Applications\ subdirectory. This creates the ...\Applications\Economics directory and its subdirectories (ca 32 MB).
• After expanding, start up Mathematica.
• Start the Pack by having Mathematica evaluate Needs["Economics`Pack`"]. The Pack will ask for your password. You only need it once for the InputDialog. Henceforth it will be read from a small Password.txt file in the Economics directory. You can call the TheEconomicsPack palette from the palette menu. This will give further assistence on using the Pack.

Read the chapter "Getting started" in the User Guide for more details. (The Guide button on the palette only applies to the HelpBrowser for Mathematica 10 and lower, and does no longer apply to Mathematica 11+.)

To get your password, email tc-tc@kpnmail.nl, and you will receive your password by reply email. Send me: (a) proof of your payment and (b) your Mathematica $NetworkLicense value, the Mathematica $LicenseID and your machine number $MachineID. If you send your $LicenseID then you can use the Pack with your copy of Mathematica.

Holders of a single user license for The Economics Pack on a network machine, with a Mathematica $NetworkLicense === True, will have to send in their $MachineID. Your $NetworkLicense, $LicenseID and $MachineID can be found by evaluating these symbols in Mathematica, which can be done without The Economics Pack installed.

Notes:

1. Proof of payment can come e.g. from the bank or the reseller, or is given directly from using paypal. See the payment details.
2. Above short guide is for single users. In the past $InstallationDirectory was used but now it is $UserBaseDirectory.
3. Network operators who want to install the Pack in $InstallationDirectory might need to contact me for a different zip version.
4. If you put the Pack in another place than $InstallationDirectory, $BaseDirectory or $UserBaseDirectory then it will not work.
5. Though Mathematica can read packages and notebooks independently from various operating systems, there still is the issue of transferring from one system to the other. However, modern expanders can handle the *.zip format. Unix / Linux and Apple users must use unzip -aa TheEconomicsPack.zip
6. See the Horror Cabinet of things that can go wrong.
