Software integration

Most integration settings are not required to work with Pirana. Many program locations are only used to create easy links to the software from within Pirana.

Select File > Settings and choose Software Integration in the left list.

Enter the path to the appropriate executable or configuration file for the extension.
Use ... to navigate to a file or use icon_browscluster to select a folder.

The following are important to set correctly to work with Pirana easily:

R location: Pirana uses R and Xpose4 to generate graphs.
Location of R GUI (if available).

Spreadsheet location (i.e., Excel, Numeric, etc.): Enables viewing of CSV files.

Code/text editor: This editor is used to edit models or scripts.

PDF file viewer: Enables viewing of the many graphics that are created as PDF files.

Expand Software Integration and select a software program name.
