Fitplot source code is available on GitHub.

• https://github.com/cprevallet/fitplot

This software depends on the excellent fit package.

• https://github.com/jezard/fit

The software source code is an (unholy) mixture of Golang (version 1.6.2) and Javascript, HTML and Javascript. The source code may be cross-compiled and packaged by using the shell script (package.sh) under Linux. Building under Windows is untested. See comments in that document about the other tools that may be required in the build environment.

1. Setup:
	Download Go from https://golang.org/dl/
            go get github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir
            go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
	go get bitbucket.org/liamstask/goose/cmd/goose
	go get github.com/jezard/fit
	go get github.com/cprevallet/fitplot
2. Build:
	go install fitplot
3. Package (optional):
	Install dependencies for package.sh (see comments in package.sh for list)
	/.package.sh {help|windows|linux|all}

Before you start using Fitplot, you have to make it available on your computer. Even if it’s already installed, it’s probably a good idea to update to the latest version. You can either install it as a package or via another installer, or download the source code and compile it yourself.

Tip

How do I know this software hasn’t been modified from the original source?

In lieu of a "signing certificate" that both Apple and Microsoft support within their respective operating systems, Fitplot is offered with a "message digest" to insure that the application has not been tampered with. As a result, when installing under Windows, a warning about an unknown publisher may be issued.

The following utilities may be executed from the command line after downloading the builds to verify the provided message digests. Performing this check is optional but a good practice.

• Windows

C:\ CertUtil -hashfile 'Fitplot Windows x64 Setup.exe' MD5

• Linux

$ md5sum fitplot.run

The resulting displayed checksum should match the checksum value in the file md_windows.txt or md_linux.txt.

The application has an integrated help system which may be accessed from the menu once the application is started.

The tracking system at Github will be used to report problems and suggest enhancements. https://github.com/cprevallet/fitplot/issues
