The AMC utilities have been written for Linux. They might be adapted to MAC OS X or Windows without too many difficulties, but I won do that in the near future. Please contact me if you are interested to do it : I can help you a little, and I will include changes in AMC if necessary.

|---|---|
If you install AMC with deb or RPM package (on debian, Ubuntu and derivatives, Mandriva, openSUSE, Fedora), every software used by AMC will be automatically installed. |
The main packages/software that are required for the use of AMC are the following:
LaTeX
ImageMagick
Perl, together with Gtk2-Perl and Glade::XML for the graphical user interface
A few bugs in old versions of software used by AMC are particularly detrimental to its operating normally:
With old versions of Net::CUPS (debian package libnet-cups-perl), the command for printing the test sheets leads to a premature exit from the AMC graphical user interface. This bug is fixed in versions 0.61 and later of Net::CUPS.
With old versions of ImageMagick, the merging of corrected answer sheets into a single PDF file per student does not work when answer sheets comprise more than one page. This bug is fixed in versions 6.5.5 ad later of ImageMagick.
