Availability

PG is distributed as a tarball. It is available on our SourceForge project page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93112

To use this library, you will probably want to download WeBWorK. See AvailableVersions for more information.

Installation directly from CVS is also possible. Refer to the InstallationManualV2pt1 for more information.

Installation

Documentation on installing and configuring PG is available in the WeBWorK InstallationManualV2pt1. If you are upgrading an existing installation, be sure to read the section Upgrading an existing WeBWorK installation.

Help

If you need help installing or using PG 2.1, consult WeBWorKDocs and WeBWorKFAQs.

You can also visit the WeBWorK discussion group and post your question there. The developers monitor this forum.

Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Submit bug reports and feature requests at http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/. We can't fix bugs and add features if you don't tell us about them!

Patches

While we welcome patches of any sort, by patching against the latest CVS code, you save us and yourself time. A bug in this release may be fixed in CVS, and we can more easily handle patches against the latest code. Check out the latest development version from CVS and patch against that. Consult the WeBWorKCVS topic for more information.
