How to install the software on an USB flash drive

or other removable device


Why installing the software on a flash drive?


When installed on a flash drive, the software will work without any effect on the computer that hosts the device.
It can be helpful, for instance, if you wish to work on a computer shared between several people, or work on several computers.

Implementation on Macintosh


Insert your flash drive and ensure that there is enough free space : 100 MB

Run the installer and click the "Choose" button related to "Folder the application will be installed into:".
Select your flash drive.

Activate "Install as a roaming application"

Click "Install". The software installs, it can take a few minutes.

Run the software to finalize the install: creation of sound bases, of the "Myriad Documents" folder at the same level as the application, etc. This can take several minutes, but should be faster the next time you run the application.

Implementation on Windows


Insert your flash drive and ensure that there is enough free space : 100 MB.
In the third panel of the installer, click "Browse" in the "Target folder" section, and select your flash drive.
Select "Setup type: Custom (for experienced users).
Click "Next >".
In the following panel, click "Roaming install" then click "Next >" and complete the install.

The software installs, it can take a few minutes.

Run the software to finalize the install: creation of sound bases, of the "Myriad Documents" folder at the same level as the application, etc. This can take several minutes, but should be faster the next time you run the application.

Please note that for better performances, it is recommended to format your flash drive in NTFS mode, assuming that the computers on which you plan to use the software support this format. Otherwise, FAT format is recommended for a better compatibility.

Installing a sound base


To use another sound base than the one installed by default with the software, download its installer from the Website then install the base on the flash drive, preferably in a new folder created for this purpose.

In the software, open the global setup ("Configuration" menu). In the "Paths" section, select the new path to the sound base.

Tips

If you create score files, remember to save them on the flash drive, in a folder created for this purpose.

If you do not own a flash drive, you can use instead a digital camera, an MP3 player or any other external device that supports file writing.

If you lose your flash drive, please report it quickly to sylvie@myriad-online.com so that your personal registration number could be blacklisted in order to prevent any fraudulous use.
