Please -do not spread the link to this page. Instead, you are welcome show the link to -the `kwant website <http://kwant-project.org/>`_. - -You may use kwant for your personal evaluation. Any other use, **explicitly -including further distribution**, is not allowed. Please wait for the release -of the final version that we expect to occur very soon. - -So far, kwant is running on the following platforms: GNU/Linux, Mac OS, and -Windows. The usage experience on GNU/Linux is best (this is the platform -recommended by the authors of kwant), followed by Mac OS. Support for Windows -is highly experimental (help wanted). - - -Installation from source ------------------------- - -This method of installation is described in the documentation. It is extremely -easy on Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu). On Mac OS and -Windows it is more involved, but documented as well. Please download the files -and follow the `installation instructions </docs/install.html>`_. - -* kwant: `tar-gz-archive <kwant-0.3pre4.tar.gz>`__, `zip-archive <kwant-0.3pre4.zip>`__ -* tinyarray (needed by kwant): `tar-gz-archive <tinyarray-0.0.tar.gz>`__, `zip-archive <tinyarray-0.0.zip>`__ - - -Binary installation instructions for Windows --------------------------------------------- - -**Warning:** These packages are highly experimental and likely not to work -fully. In a test with Windows XP, most tutorial examples ran. In another test -with Windows 7, most did not. We would appreciate the help of people -experienced with the Windows platform. - -**Important note**: The provided binary packages are compiled for 32-bit -Microsoft Windows (win32). They can be installed on a 64-bit Windows as well, -but for them to work all the other required packages (like Python itself) have -to be present in their win32 versions. - -1. Install the official Python 2.7 distribution from the official `Python - download page <http://python.org/download/>`_. Bear in mind the note above: - Choose "Python 2.7.x Windows Installer", not the 64 bit version. - -2. Install the Python packages required by kwant (NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib). An - easy way to do so is to install the `scipy-stack package - <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy-stack>`_ (win32-py2.7) - kindly provided by Christoph Gohlke. Please also note the instructions - at the top of that page. - -3. Download and execute the `tinyarray installer <tinyarray-0.0.win32-py2.7.exe>`__. - -4. Download and execute the `kwant installer <kwant-0.3pre2.win32-py2.7.exe>`__. - -5. kwant and tinyarray require four libraries (DLLs) that can be downloaded - `here <kwant-dlls.zip>`__. For these libraries to be found by kwant, they - have either to be in the current directory, or in a directory that belongs to - ``PATH``, or in ``C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32``. You have the following alternative - possibilities: - - (a) Unpack the 4 files into some directory and launch all your kwant Python - scripts from the same directory. - - (b) Like (a), but add that directory to the ``PATH`` environment variable - (The Web knows how to do that.). Now you should be able to launch kwant - scripts from everywhere. - - (c) Copy the four DLL files directly to ``C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32``. - -Please note that the kwant binary packages do not include any kwant examples or -documentation. Use the `online documentation </docs/>`_. +With the release of Kwant the instructions that were here were rendered +obsolete. Please go to the `installation instructions </install>`_ for the +latest Kwant release.
