<big>We shall install the Cumulus software listed on [[Software]] page</big>:
# '''CumulusMX’’’:
#* '''CumulusMX.exe’’’ is written in C#, that has been developed by Mark Crossley, but still contains some code by Steve Loft
#* Download '''CumulusMX zip file’’’ from the link at[[Software#Latest_build_distribution_download]]
# [[Software#Create_Missing|'''Create Missing''']]:
#* '''CreateMissing.exe''' is anotheralso written in C#, created, and developed, by Mark packageCrossley
#* Download '''Create Missing zip file''' from the link at [[Software#Create_Missing]]
#* Using '''CreateMissing.exe''' is fully documented at [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe]] in this Wiki (it will populate missing fields in [[standard log files]] and/or missing lines in [[dayfile.txt]]),
#** This takes you to a github page with a "ReadMe" providing minimal instructions
#* Simple Instructions for using this executable are on the github page where they are found, you can find the link for that at [[Software#Create_Missing]] in this Wiki.
#* Using '''CreateMissing.exe''' is fully documented at [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe]] in this Wiki (it will populate missing fields in [[standard log files]] and/or missing lines in [[dayfile.txt]]),
#* (it will populate missing fields in [[standard log files]] and/or missing lines in [[dayfile.txt]]).
# '''ExportToMySQL'''
#* '''ExportToMySQL.exe''' is also written in C# by Mark Crossley
#* Download '''ExportToMySQL.exeExport To My SQL zip file''' package from the link at [[Software#ExportToMySQL]]
#** This takes you to a github page with a "ReadMe" providing minimal instructions
#* '''ExportToMySQL.exe''' is not (at the time this was written) documented in this Wiki although [[MX_Administrative_Interface#MySQL_settings]] does describe a similar utility (written by Steve Loft) that was actually included inwithin early MXCumulusMX releasezip downloads.
 
As at 9 March 2020, there is another utility, '''CreateRecord''', has been initialised in the Github areas managed by the developer where Cumulus is worked on, although it appears to be just a concept (any code on the developer's computer has not yet been included) on github. This will, if my understanding is correct, read [[dayfile.txt]] and use that to update the various [[:Category:Ini Files|extreme record files]]. However, at the time of writing this, it is nothing more than a concept that needs to be coded, and (as far as I know) there has been no progress on that utility for at least 4 months.
