Prerequisites for Windows
From ASCEND
[edit] For the PyGTK GUI
First install Python version 2.4. We are not yet supporting Python 2.5 on Windows (although it is tested on Linux and should work).
Next install GTK+. Download the gtk-win32-devel-2.6.10-rc1.exe file from the gladewin32 project.
Next, install the following additional reqired python-related packages on your machine (easily located with Google):
You will require the following (for versions up to ASCEND 0.9.5.109, or they are optional for 0.9.5.110) for graphics support:
The remaining packages are optional. If you want to enable Python console support for scripting/debugging:
- ipython-0.8.0.win32.exe (another python extension module), which in turn requires
- ctypes-1.0.1.win32-py2.4.exe (note: this dep will drop off with Python 2.5 -- built-in)
- pyreadline-1.4.2.win32.exe
[edit] For the Tcl/Tk GUI
- Tcl/Tk 8.3 or 8.4 (ActiveState distribution)
- TkTable 2.8 or 2.9
- xgraph (optional)
[edit] CONOPT
Optionally, if you want to use the CONOPT or CMSlv solvers, you will need CONOPT. We have a .exe installer that we can provide to registered users of CONOPT.
