1.3.5 Check your DITA2Go installation

To make sure everything is set up correctly, try running the DITA Test Suite demonstration project included with the DITA2Go distribution:

  1. Start the DITA2Go Project Manager (if you do not already have a desktop shortcut to this program, see Step 3 under §1.3.3 Install DITA2Go).
  2. On the Run Project tab, select project DTS RTF Demo (for RTF output) or DTS HTML Demo (for HTML output).
  3. Click Start.

If the project produces output and a log file, your installation is fine. If the project produces an error message, or appears to run instantly without producing a log file, this means the Project Manager did not find the necessary files.

Next, if you plan to produce on-line Help or ebook formats, §1.3.6 Obtain tools for Help systems or eBooks; otherwise, §1.3.7 Establish system-wide configuration settings.
