CompilingPrograms > installation of Modelio, a UML modeler

I tried Topcased from eclipse repositories but did not (yet) succeed.

One purpose is to create UML diagrams and then convert them into documentation (be it LibreOffice documents of HTML pages).

===Install Modelio under Mageia===
I used Mageia 4, installation of Modelio 3.2.1 is straightforward: just download the tar.gz, untar then launch ##cd Modelio* ; ./modelio##

The latest stable version of Modelio 3.2.1 (Build 201410311752) is now available (Last update on November 3rd, 2014 ).

I used the [[http://www.modelio.org/about-modelio/license.html open-source version of Modelio]] (GPLv3, APL, to-be-checked version for module togaf)

Installation of french language is simply a matter of unzipping a file.

The [[http://www.modelio.org/documentation/installation/12-installation.html requirements for installations under Mageia]] were already there.

[[http://www.modeliosoft.com/fr/modules/togaf-architect.html module architect has examples for togaf]]
Though, ##lancez la commande "File/Import project"## when the import is not available by default in the open-source version... you kidding me?


There are both [[http://www.togaf-modeling.org/downloads-menu/viewcategory/10-examples-for-modelio-31x.html examples in french and english]] for former versions, may be read by 3.2.x version too.
The license is not precised (I suppose the default one applies), seems that the file depends on the version installed, at least there is this formulation:
La version open source ne contient ni les modèles d’objectifs, ni les modèles d’exigence.




===Install Modelio under Mageia 2===
Some plugins are commercial, find those that are interesting in open-source, see

%%ls -l /usr/lib/libweb* # shows current version of libraries

# circumvent bug to enable modelio to find the libraries for webkit (better than using xul apparently)
ln -s /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.13.2 /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2 %%

##./modelio.sh -nl fr## # to start modelio with french support for the gui


===Some interesting plugins called extensions===
See http://www.modelio.org/forum/9-extensions/1090-cannot-install-extensions.html to install them (first create a project, then you can install extension)

http://forge.modelio.org/projects many interesting projects, check manuals (documentation available too, seems mainly in english?)
