2. Installation

This package requires a working Python installation to use. Python version 3.3.X is required for it to work. Later versions of the 3.X series of Python should also work.

It is known not to work on Python 3.1 or earlier. Python 3.2 has not been tested.

This code was developed on a windows platform, but is likely to work on other platforms – an early version of the code was tested to work under Linux.

This package does not require any additional modules outside of those included with the core Python distribution.

For the tools, on a windows platform (provided python is installed) it should just be possible to double click on the appropriate file name in the ‘NPIF Utils’ folder to run it. Alternatively it could be run from within an appropriate Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

For code development, either develop new code in the same folder as the modules, or alternatively install the ‘NPIF’ and ‘S7023_GUI’ modules in a location where the PYTHONPATH environment variable is set to look.
