 6. In the "Project manager" window click the right mouse button and choose the
"Install" menu item

7. AlphaDB and AlphaExtra packages may be installed like the main

* If package should be installed in the Delphi and C++Builder at the same time, then
on steps 3 and 5 open the "Output - C/C++" page in "Project options" window and set
"Generate all C++Builder files (including package libs)" in the "C/C++ Output file
generation" field. Full sources of the package are needed.

Using of the 64-bit units under Delphi XE2/XE3

1. Install the package in 32-bit mode as described above. Delphi supports

installation of 32-bit packages only
2. If full sources of the package are available then additional actions are not
required. 64-bit units are generated automatically when project is compiling in
x64 mode.

Otherwise, additional precompiled 64-bit units should be downloaded and

unpacked to separate folder. And add this folder in the "Tools->Environment
Options->Library->Library Path" field for x64 mode.
