Welcome to ManeParse 1.0! 

The 4 Mathematica packages that make up ManeParse are contained in the 
ManeParse/MP_packages/ directory. 

Installation:
    1. Unpack ManeParse and navigate to the ManeParse/ directory.
        tar -xzf ManeParse.tgz 
        cd ./ManeParse

    2. Copy the contents of MP_packages to the location of your 
        $UserBaseDirectory using the standard installation procedure 
        of Mathematica by opening a new Mathematica Document.
            Choose File -> Install...
            Choose Type of Item to Install -> Package
            Choose Source -> From File...
            Choose pdfCalc.m
            Select Install for this user only
            Click OK
            Repeat for pdfParseCTEQ.m, pdfParseLHA.m, and pdfErrors.m.

Usage:
    1. Load at least one of the parsing packages from your Mathematica noebook. 
        The pdfCalc.m package will be loaded automatically. 
            <<pdfParseCTEQ.m;
            <<pdfParseLHA.m;

    4. Optional: Load the pdfErrors.m package for PDF error estimation.
        Linux or Mac:
            <<pdfErrors.m

    5. Type "?pdf*" for a summary of available functions.


To Run Demo:
    The Demo is intended to be run from within the ManeParse directory without 
    installing the packages in the Mathematica $UserBaseDirectory.

    1. Unpack ManeParse and navigate to the ManeParse/ directory.
        tar -xzf ManeParse.tgz 
        cd ./ManeParse

    2. Run the makeDemo.py script to build the file structure needed for 
        the demo notebook. The script will ask you questions about linking 
        or downloading the PDF sets used in the demo and then run noe2.perl 
        to ensure the PDF files are correctly formated.
         To do this, at the terminal run,
            ./MakeDemo.py

    2. Run the demonstration notebook from the ManeParse/ directory.
        mathematica Demo.nb


Troubleshooting:
    If the MakeDemo.py script does not run properly, the PDF_sets/ directory 
    can be removed with the --clean flag.
        ./MakeDemo.py --clean
