= Installing Source Navigator =
== In Ubuntu==
Execute the following line in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get install sourcenav
 
This should install source-navigator. One can check whether the installation is complete by executing:
$ which snavigator
/usr/bin/snavigator
 
=Importing the source=
 
# Execute the following: <code>snavigator</code> This triggers a splash screen, followed by a "Source-Navigator Projects" dialog as the following: [[Image:Snavigator-project-dialog.jpg|Source Navigator Dialog]] <br/>I've already created a new project bin.proj before documenting this. If this is your first time to open source navigator, the big white box on the left of the dialog should contain no lines.
# Click "New Project". This shows the "Auto-Create Project" dialog:<br/>[[Image:snav-auto-create-project.jpg|Auto-Create-Project Dialog]]<br/> which allows you to decide your filename of the project file (which ends in .proj) and your source directory/directories that you want to import into the project. (You can always include more by pressing the "More" button.) 
#*In my case, I inputted the followings:
#**''Project File'': <br/> <tt>~/snav-mozilla</tt>
#**''Add Directory'' (where your source files reside in -- I understand that the label here is not so self-explanatory...): <br/> <tt>~/moz1.9/mozilla</tt> <br/>(because I saved my source at ~/moz1.9/mozilla.)
# Remember to ensure that "Include Subdirectories" and "Build Cross-reference database" are checked.
# Then click "OK". The snavigator then begins to scan your source directories. This takes a few minutes. Now you can enjoy searching the mozilla code in a faster speed.
 
=Using Source Navigator (more later)=
==Opening a Project==
# Open a terminal.
# Type <tt>snavigator</tt> followed by striking Enter.
# This shows the "Source-Navigator Projects" dialog. Choose the project file that you've just created and then click "Open...". Source Navigator then loads the database and then display the following Symbols window:
 
 
 
==Searching a method==
===by typing in the method name===
===viewing the definition/declaration by highlighting the method in the code===
===...===
 
==Displaying a inheritance hierarchy==
#...
==Searching a string==
