SPACE GASS Installation

SPACE GASS must be installed on each computer that you wish to run it from. It can also be installed on the computer that contains the Titan server if you also wish to run SPACE GASS on that computer.
 

  1. Click here to download the latest SPACE GASS program and save it to your desktop.
     

  2. When the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file to install it. Follow the installation prompts and accept the default settings for each step until the installation is complete.
     

  3. Re-start your computer before proceeding further. If you skip this step SPACE GASS may crash when you run it!
     

  4. Double-click the SPACE GASS shortcut on your desktop to start the program. SPACE GASS will start and then require you to agree to the end user licence agreement.
     

  5. In the following form, click "Connect to Titan on the Network".



     

  6. In the following form, click Yes.



     

  7. SPACE GASS then searches your network for the computer with the Titan server installed.



    When a Titan server is found, its details are displayed in the table at the center of the form shown below.

    When the search is finished, you should click on the server listed in the table that you wish SPACE GASS to connect to and then click the "Add" button. If more than one Titan server is listed then you can "Add" multiple Titan servers and SPACE GASS will then be able to connect to any one of them.

    Note that any server computer which is outside your local subnet will not be found in the above search, and so to get access to it you will have to enter its host name or IP address manually in the table. This may be the case with large companies that have different subnets in different offices or if you are trying to access the Titan server at work from home via a virtual private network (VPN).



     

  8. The Titan Client tool will then open with the Titan server details shown in its "Connection Settings" table. If the Titan Client tool doesn't open automatically, you can start it via the Start Button => All Programs => SPACE GASS 14 => Tools => Titan Client.

     You can test a connection by clicking the "Test Selected Connection" button or you can just close the tool.



     

  9. Click here to optimize SPACE GASS to use your hardware correctly (this is very important).

  10. SPACE GASS should now run.

 

 

Note that if you wish to quickly replicate steps 7 and 8 on other computers, just export the client configuration file using the "Export Configuration File" button in the Titan Client tool, transfer it to the other computers and then import it using their Titan Client tool's "Import Configuration File" button.

 

If you have a large number of computers to set up, you may also wish to use an automated Command Line Switch procedure.
