#I unzipped the contents (on my Windows PC) into a partition I use just for software downloads. You don't have to have somewhere separate to the installation, but it is useful if you want to download on a separate device to the device where you will install your MX, or if you do any customisation of particular files and wish to keep copies of originals.
#I used a package that '''verifies the files it copies''' to duplicate the folder '''CumuluxMX''' onto the drive where I run Cumulus. I then noticed that the package contained some very obsolete copies of some external packages:
#*As downloaded, the MX 3.4.5 package contained obsolete vintage version 2.1.4 (2015-03-10) of Highstocks and Highcharts within the interface folder "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock", so I downloaded latest versions from [https://www.highcharts.com/blog/download/ the Highstock link] and saved that on
#*As downloaded, "\CumulusMX\webfiles\lib\jquery" contained jQuery version 1.9.1, that is 2014 vintage and very obsolete, I already have the latest jQuery on my web server, so I did not need to put that new version into this webfiles\lib location, I just noted that this new path meant I ''may'' have to make some change on my web server later. If you do want to use a newer version of jQuery on your web site, you can download latest compressed production version from [https://jquery.com/download/ jQuery web site]. I prefixed the version in the MX package with the word OBSOLETE (OBSOLETEjquery-latest.min.js), you will find the latest version you download is called '''jquery-3.4.1.min.js'''. If you are using MX web pages, rename that new jQuery to "jquery-latest.min.js" to match the name that MX uses.
#* Other parts of the interface also had old versions of library software, but (because the interface uses json files to drive content of the various screens) I had no guarantee that its screens would work with later versions of the following libraries:
