Software Packages and Asset Management
Published in Justin Starr, Water and Wastewater Pipeline Assessment Technologies, 2021
While CUPSS is free and easy to use, the program does have some significant downsides. First, it remains tethered to the desktop. As a Windows executable, it is unlikely that CUPSS will ever be upgraded to a web-based or mobile application that can run on multiple devices. Second, the program is no longer supported by the EPA and is quickly becoming outdated. CUPSS used to have a vibrant trainer community and ecosystem supporting the product – most of these resources are no longer widely available. That said, the program is still available as a free download and still functions on Windows 7, 8, and 10, though it may require some configuration to run properly. Running the installer in compatibility mode (for Windows XP SP3) can solve many common issues. It is also possible to run CUPSS in a dedicated virtual machine, though the lack of support means its days are numbered. Still, for a municipality looking to get up to speed on asset management in a modular way, it may be worth considering.

To install system files into the System Folder, drag their icons over the System Folder icon (not into the System window). The system folder will recognize special files and put them in their appropriate folders within the System folder. However, items that you want in the Startup Items folder or the Apple Menu Items Folder need to be dragged to their specific folder. Also, some system software comes with an installer program to properly install files into the system folder. To use an installer program, double click on the installer application and follow the instruction on the screen.

As the popularity of the internet grows, the number of network-based apps also increases in our daily lives which can pose a threat to network users in the same way that malware might [1]. Understanding the mechanism of virus spread is crucial for computer security and defensive measures [2]. Computer viruses are computer programs that have the ability to infect other programs by altering and duplicating them [3]. In general, a computer virus itself is a harmful computer program with the ability to replicate itself in order to target a computer or valuable content; examples of common viruses include Trojans, logic bombs, worms, spyware, logic bombs and so on [4,5]. These apps conduct damaging actions on personal data, such as deleting, changing, manipulating, and encrypting files [4]. One of the most ongoing threats to communication and information equipment is blog scanned worms. One type of worm is the Autorun malware [6]. The Autorun.inf file in the current operating system provides the autoplay functionality. Even without information of the hosted user, all such gadgets have been probably infected and confronted without complexity to certain other systems via removable media or networking equipment [7]. When USB peripherals are linked to the operating system, the autoplay worms enable the operating system to launch an installer via the Autorun.inf file.
Tutorial: The LuxPy Python Toolbox for Lighting and Color Science
Published in LEUKOS, 2020
The easiest and recommended way of installing the LuxPy package is as follows: First, install miniconda for Python 3 (≥3.5) by downloading the installer (from conda.io/miniconda.html) for your operating system. This installs the conda package manager and python. Make sure conda.exe can be found on the system path (if necessary, add it manually).Next, create a conda virtual environment for Python version 3.6 or higher with a full Anaconda distribution by opening up a (Anaconda) and typing the following one line of commands after the $-prompt:
