05:23, 20 June 2013 = STOP =
Due to a bug with a high imprecision in a windows 7 system, compiles with Visual Studio Express Professional,
[https://gna.org/bugs/?20821 See bug #20821], this installation is not recommended!
= Download preparation =
First: Download these packages, do not unpack them yet.
# (.exe): wxPython: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#wxpython
# (.exe): scons: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scons
# (.zip): minfx: http://download.gna.org/minfx/
# (.zip): bmrblib: http://download.gna.org/bmrblib/
take amd64 versions if you have a computer with 64 bit.
= Install python and necessary packages =
I recommend to install a python distribution which is packed with several packages already.
== Winpython ==
You could consider winpython, which includes Ipython, numpy, scipy. matplotlib etc.:<br>
[https://code.google.com/p/winpython Homepage]
Make a folder: '''C:\WinPython27'''.<br>
Run the downloaded winpython exe file, and extract to: '''C:\WinPython27'''.<br>
Open '''WinPython Control Panel''' in ex. '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1'''<br>
Drag the 4 above mentioned packakes, into the window, and install the packages.<br>
For a command window, use the '''WinPython Command Prompt''' found in '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.4.1''', which fixes path issues for finding python.
= Install Visual Studio Express 2012 =
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hs24szh9.aspx See versions of VS 2012 here].<br>
For 64 bit compiling, you will need, '''Visual Studio Professional''', since it has: 64-bit x64 compiler.<br>
From http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads, download and install: [http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9810223 Visual Studio Professional 2012 90-day trial].<br>
Skip all extra packages install. After install, just exit any program, which opened after install.
== Bugfix scons for 32bit building - ONLY do this if you have winpython 32 bit. ==
Due to a bug, versions of scons '''<=2.3''' should alter a line in:<br>
'''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-2.7.4.1\python-2.7.4\Lib\site-packages\scons-2.3.0\SCons\Tool\MSCommonvc.py'''
Line '''364''':
if not req_target_platform and target_platform in ('amd64','x86_64'):
Should be:
if target_platform in ('amd64','x86_64'):
= Install Subversion checkout of relax =
Install a subversion client. For example: http://tortoisesvn.net/
Right click in winpython folder: '''C:\WinPython27''', and select '''SVN Checkout'''. Write the path:
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/relax_disp
= Build relax =
Open the '''WinPython Command Prompt''' <br>
Navigate to the SVN checked out relax folder
cd C:\WinPython27\relax_disp
scons
(Scons will automatically find CL.exe, and setup compilation for 64 bit.)
== Modify env.bat ==
Modify '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts\env.bat''', and add to end of file
<source lang="powershell">
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\WinPython27\relax_disp
</source>
Test installation, by clicking '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts\cmd.bat''', and write
<source lang="powershell">
relax
relax -g
</source>
=== Tip - shortcut to cmd.bat ===
Make shortcut to '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts\cmd.bat''', and modify the shortcut. Set
'''Start in:''' %PWD%
You can now copy this shortcut around, which open a command prompt at the current folder, and set the paths correctly.
=== Tip - add env.bat to windows path ===
If you have permission to change the Environment Variables in windows, you can add the '''env.bat''' to your path.<br>
Right click Computer -> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> User variables -> Edit: PATH <br>
Add to end of the Variable value:
;C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts
In any folder, hold "Shift" and right click, "Open command window here". Write:
<source lang="powershell">
env
relax -g
</source>
= Install other software =
== xmgrace - for the plotting results of NMR-relax ==
relax produces xmgrace "'.agr" files for plotting. There exist two ports for xmgrace to windows [http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtgrace/ QtGrace] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gracegtk/ GraceGTK]. <br>
Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtgrace/ QtGrace], and unpack to '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary'''. <br>
Then copy '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary\bin\qtgrace.exe''' to '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary\bin\xmgrace.exe'''
Modify '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts\env.bat''', and add to end of file
<source lang="powershell">
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary\bin
</source>
Test installation, by clicking '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1\scripts\cmd.bat''', and write
<source lang="powershell">
xmgrace
</source>
which should start xmgrace.
