2.2.3. Boing on Windows 7

2.2.3.1. Python 3.2

First download the Python 3.2 binary installer and run it.

After Python has been installed, it may be useful to modify the PATH environment variable, so that Windows can find Python binaries and scripts without the need of specifing all the times the entire path. As an example, the PATH variable has been set to:

PATH = C:\Python32;C:\Python32\Scripts

2.2.3.2. PyQt4

Download the PyQt4 binary installer and run it.

2.2.3.3. Distribute

The package Distribute is necessary to run the boing’s installer script. Download the file distribute_setup.py and type in a terminal:

cd <DOWNLOAD-DIRECTORY>
python distribute_setup.py

2.2.3.4. numpy

Download the numpy binary installer and run it.

If you are running a Windows 7 64 bit, you may also use the unofficial numpy Windows binary installer that you can find at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

2.2.3.5. pyparsing

Download the source code of pyparsing, extract the archive and type in a terminal:

cd <PYPARSING-DIRECTORY>

2.2.3.6. Boing

If you downloaded the binary installer you just have to launch it, otherwise extract the source archive and type in the terminal:
