Installing PyCAM Windows

Installing on Microsoft Windows

Please note that there are two ways of using PyCAM on Windows:

1) use the standalone executable (experimental - but it does not require further dependencies)

2) the installer package - it requires the following dependencies:

BEWARE: this currently (as of 2010/10/20) does not work due to a problem with

the gtk-installer. I guess, it will be fixed in the next weeks. Until then you

should use the standalone executable for Windows (see above).

Python 2.6:

Python 2.6.6 download

Please note that some of the GTK packages below require

specifically v2.6 (thus v2.7 will not help).

GTK v2.16 and GtkGlExt and PyGTK:

PyODE (optional):

Notes:

- you will probably need to add some directories manually to your search PATH setting:

C:\Programs\Common Files\GTK\bin;C:\Programs\Python25;C:\Programs\GtkGLExt\1.0\bin

(this is just an example - adjust it to your specific installation paths)

- run a python console and check if the following commands work:

import gtk

import gtk.gtkgl

import OpenGL

import ode       # this is optional
