Walkthrough downloading Reporting Standard XBRL tools set

Reporting standard tools set is not just one installer, it is rather a set of installers that let our users to install a complete framework to work with XBRL taxonomies and reports.

All installers start with RS_XBRL_ as prefix. Followed by the package name.

Packages names are:

• Setup: contains the basic library and software tools
• Mapper: contains additional tools to work with data transferring to/from XBRL
• Database: contains additional tools to work with databases and store instances/taxonomies into relational databases

followed by the version number.

The version number are just tree digits separated by dots. _X.Y.Z (note there is an underscore character before the X that has been added on purpose)

The official version is the one publicly available in the downloads page

We also publish the latest development version that should be available by adding one to the Z number.

The version number must be followed by the architecture, that is either -x64 for 64 bit and -x86 for the old 32 bit operating systems.

the file extension is always .msi

If, for example, the current version is 2.8.5, then the following files exists and can be downloaded:

• RS_XBRL_Setup_2.8.5-x64.msi
• RS_XBRL_Setup_2.8.5-x86.msi
• RS_XBRL_Database_2.8.5-x64.msi
• RS_XBRL_Database_2.8.5-x86.msi
• RS_XBRL_Mapper_2.8.5-x64.msi
• RS_XBRL_Mapper_2.8.5-x86.msi

There are two additional files we prepare for each version.

• The unix installer RS-XBRLProcessor-VX.Y.Z-UNIX.zip. Is a ZIP file. If you are familiar with development environment you can download this tools set and use the libraries folder directly on any other architectures.

• The .NET libraries RS_XBRL_API_in_DotNET_2.8.5.zip. Is also a ZIP file that contains the latest versions of the .NET DLLs
