I read some couple of books and also check the help folder in Mathematica concerning packages. I made some packages as well but I couldn't execute them properly. I save them in ...Addons\packages. But whenever I call the package using NEEDS or GET I keep getting "cannot open file". can anyone help me on how to solve my problem or a very good explanations and examples on how to make a good package

I posted the attached notebook to an earlier question that asked for similar advice. I wrote it for a consulting client of mine. It is not the whole story, but it provides some hopefully useful pointers. --David http://scientificarts.com Attachments:

Please also try this tutorial: http://support.wolfram.com/kb/5648 You can also run a package using the Needs function and supply the full file path to the package. http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Needs.html

Packages are not my area of expertise. At first your package is ".m" file or more ".m" files. (may include additional data or documentation) See link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4641512/how-to-install-new-packages-for-mathematica There is written: Packages are placed on $UserBaseDirectory/Applications or $BaseDirectory/Applications. If you want more comfort and your own documentations and more features, so you need install Wolfram Workbench. My answer is blunt, because I do not know all the details and describe them takes many times.
