As we work towards the 0.9.8 release, here are temporary installation notes for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. We hope to automate most if not all of these steps in the finall installer:
Windows 32-bit (eg XP)
Download an unzip as c:\GTK:
Download and install the following, in sequence:
- python-2.7.2.msi (32-bit)
- pygobject-2.28.3.win32-py2.7.exe
- pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.7.exe
- pygtk-2.24.0.win32-py2.7.exe
After that, the 0.9.8-beta ASCEND installer should install without problems.
You can then install the following optional components which add support for plotting and other graphics in ASCEND:
- pywin32-217.win32-py2.7.exe
- numpy-1.6.1-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe
- matplotlib-1.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe
- pyreadline-1.7.1.win32.exe
- ipython-0.12.win32-setup.exe
ASCEND will now launch from the Start menu, or when an ASCEND file (.a4c or .a4l) is double-clicked. You will get a warning about libquadmath-0.dll being missing which doesn't matter (it prevents use of the IPOPT solver only).
A good model file to test with is models/johnpye/fprops/combinedcycle_fprops.a4c which after loading combinedcycle_toluene for example can be immediate solved and then plotted (cycle_plot from the Methods menu).
