Building CEED for Windows

The following instructions need to be done in the presented order and are created for the currently available version of CEED and will likely be outdated soon (current date: 12. March, 2014)

Installing the prerequisites

Installing Python

• Get Python 2.7.6 for Windows and install it: https://www.python.org/downloads/
• Add your Python install folder path to the PATH variable in your Windows environment variables, e.g.: A:\Programs\Python27
• Now add the Scripts folder to the PATH environment variable, e.g.: A:\Programs\Python27\Scripts
• Open up Windows PowerShell with admin rights and type "python" - See if you get something written into the console, such as "Python 2.7.6 (default [...]", if this is the case then the install worked.

Installing pip

• Install the latest pip distribution: First download get-pip.py : http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html
• Open up Windows PowerShell with admin rights, change to the folder to which you downloaded "get-pip.py" by using the "cd" command, e.g.: cd "A:/Downloads/Not porn"
• Type "python get-pip.py" and click enter in the Windows PowerShell
• PowerShell should now install pip
• Afterwards write "pip" and click enter. You should get some sort of information about pip now, if the install succeeded.

Installing pyside

• Now you can install pyside easily with the following command: "pip install -U PySide"
• You should get a console output notifying you of a successful install

Install pyOpenGL

• pip install requires a C compiler for this and some other things. We suggest just installing pyOpenGL on Windows from this installer: https://pypi.python.org/packages/any/P/PyOpenGL/PyOpenGL-3.0.2.win32.exe
