  3. Unpack af_eu.zip to a location of your choice
  4. Go to the root directory of A&F, which should be "your install path"/af
  5. Open the file agent2.html in a text editor

If you have any trouble during installation of A&F you can contact Jarmo Laaksolahti at SICS.

NOTE: The freetext search functionality of A&F is dependent of a webserver and some installed cgi-scripts. To make the installation of A&F as easy as possible, and since freetext search in no way is an essential part of the system, we chose not to include that functionality into this version. If you would like to have that functionality as well, please contact Jarmo Laaksolahti at SICS.
