Steps {#steps}
==============================================================

## First, in Windows: {#windows}

### Open a CLI and Navigate to Your Directory
- Open either CMD or PowerShell, using (for example) either `WinKey+S` or `WinKey+R`
    followed by the name of the program (and then `` or ``).
- Navigate to the directory containing the desired log-file.
  - The commands `dir` and `cd` should be enough for this.
  - The argument "`..`" means "the directory above this one" (e.g., "`cd ..`" means "go up one folder").
- Run the command `python` to start the Python interpreter.
- If needed, use Windows Explorer to find the log-file you want to analyze,
      and (optionally) copy the filename to the clipboard.

*Note:* You can quit Python at any time using the command "`quit()`".
If you've started Python in the wrong directory, the easiest thing to do is probably
  to just "`quit()`" Python, "`cd`" into the correct folder, then run "`python`" again.

## Then, in Python: {#python}

### For the Graphical Interface: {#pythongui}

Run the following at the Python prompt; you should be able to simply follow the GUI from there if it is working properly:
```python
from qamgr import *
q = GuiQAMgr()
```

---

### Or, For the Text Interface: {#pythoncli}

Run the following at the Python prompt:
```python
from qamgr import *
q = QAMgr()
```
You should be prompted to enter your initials and choose a DICOM RP file.
Then simply run the following command:
```python
q.run()
```
This will automatically complete the process and will prompt you for action when necessary.
If you encounter trouble, you may need access to the individual objects;
  they are described on the next page.
