How can i use Descarta2D package for Mathematica?

Recently I download a pdf book named -"Exploring Analytical Geometry with Mathematica ".In this book, they used a package "Descarta2D". I can't understand how can I add these packages in my Mathematica.

I look at many websites to solve this problem but I can't run the code of this book yet. some links that i visited - 1.wolfram comunity 2.wolfram comunity 3.wolfram comunity

I want to add these packages in Mathematica and run the all code of the book-Exploring Analytical Geometry with Mathematica.

Looks like you are supposed to copy the Descarta packages to $BaseDirectory\Applications, which on my system corresponds to C:\ProgramData\Mathematica\Applications. Then when you try to use a Descarta notebook automatic initialisation should be able to find the packages to load.

By the way, the last valid Descarta2d site archive was Sept 2019

The complete Mathematica source code for all the Descarta2D notebooks is published in the free PDF file of the textbook (in Part VII, Packages). The Mathematica source code for all the exercise answers is provided in the free PDF file as well (in Part VIII, Explorations).

Alternatively, it is a significant time-saver to have the option to purchase and download the notebook files directly, rather than cutting them from the book's PDF file using Acrobat and pasting them into Mathematica.

The Mathematica add-on package, Descarta2D, has been certified to be compatible with Mathematica Version 8 (previously certified for Versions 3-7). The entire textbook "Exploring Analytic Geometry with Mathematica" (including the user manual for Descarta2D) is available for free viewing and download at www.Descarta2D .com (both PDF and on- line versions, 865 pages, ~3Mb, are available).

The corresponding Descarta2D Mathematica notebooks are available for purchase at the same web site (the notebooks are not required to read/ study the textbook, but they are needed to re-run the sample problems or to use Descarta2D for applications beyond the samples).

Uncertain whether the code in the PDF from 2019 is updated to version 8. Maybe just the paid addons.
