Abstract(in English) An open source software (OSS) is a software whose source code is public through the Internet, so that everybody can use and modify it freely. As a result, a lot of companies, governments, and universities are now using OSS. However, the use of OSS is actually hard for beginners because OSS has few good manuals, where OSS has been developed by volunteers. In this paper, we propose a method of automatically generating a manual for installing OSS using log files at the installation process by a trained user. Our experimental results for its evaluations using the installation of Tomcat, an Web OSS, show that more people could complete the installation of this OSS by using the manual generated by the proposed method than by using the existing manual on an Web site.
