[edit] Installing Enso on Windows by hand

[edit] Instructions

  1. Download and install Python 2.5 from python.org
  2. Download and install the Python Windows Extension from their sourceforge home
  3. Download and install bazaar from here or, here for short.
  4. Open a cmd.exe window, create and navigate to a folder, where enso is to be installed. (like c:\program files\) You don't need to create a subfolder - see next step.
  5. In this command window, type
    bzr branch lp:enso/community-enso
    or
    c:\python25\scripts\bzr.bat branch lp:enso/community-enso
    A subfolder 'community-enso' will be created and the source files will be downloaded into it.
  6. cd into that directory; leave the command window open.
  7. Download the zipped community-enso binaries from enso's home at launchpad. These binaries are compiled for Python 2.5 so will not work with >2.5 although Enso Python code itself is compatible with 2.6/2.7.
  8. From the root of the zip file, extract the 'enso' directory into the 'community-enso' directory that was created above. (You maybe asked if you want to merge/overwrite a folder or files - confirm)
  9. Go back to your command window and type
    python scripts/run_enso.py
    or
    run.cmd

Please watch the console for any errors/warnings and please let us know (preferably blackdaemon) if something doesn't work for you or fill a bugreport (Report a bug link in the top-right corner). You have to be registered with launchpad in order to be able to fill the bugreport.

[edit] Potential Problems

  • bzr and/or other python packages might demand admin rights to install
  • python might not be on the PATH varible, instead of the last command, try
    c:\python25\python scripts/run_enso.py
