You can install ArtiSynth in any location you like. In this document, the location of the ArtiSynth installation directory will be denoted by <ARTISYNTH_HOME>. For example if ArtiSynth is installed in
/home/roger/artisynth_core
then <ARTISYNTH_HOME> denotes this directory and <ARTISYNTH_HOME>/lib denotes the sub-directory
/home/roger/artisynth_core/lib
It recommended that ArtiSynth be installed in a location where none of the directory names contain spaces (e.g., avoid placing it under Program Files). This will help ensure that all ArtiSynth utilities function correctly.
