Prerequisites for Windows

From ASCEND

Jump to: navigation, search
ASCEND now supports Python 2.5. (See link to sourceforge.net download page below). If installing ASCEND with Python 2.5, be sure to get the -py2.5 versions of the dependencies listed below. We have tested ASCEND with more up-to-date versions (than those listed here) of the GTK and PyGTK and related packages and that seems to work OK as well.

[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:

[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.
