asymptote: Microsoft Windows

 
 2.3 Microsoft Windows
 =====================
 
 Users of the 'Microsoft Windows' operating system can install the
 self-extracting 'Asymptote' executable 'asymptote-x.xx-setup.exe', where
 'x.xx' denotes the latest version.
 
    A working TeX implementation (such as the one available at
 <http://www.miktex.org>) will be required to typeset labels.  You will
 also need to install 'GPL Ghostscript' version 9.14 or later from
 <http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public>.
 
    To view the default 'PostScript' output, you can install the program
 'gsview' available from <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/>.  A
 better (and free) 'PostScript' viewer available at
 <http://psview.sourceforge.net/> (which in particular works properly in
 interactive mode) unfortunately currently requires some manual
 configuration.  Specifically, if version 'x.xx' of 'psview' is extracted
 to the directory 'c:\Program Files' one needs to put
 import settings;
 psviewer="c:\Program Files\psview-x.xx\psv.exe";
 in the optional 'Asymptote' configuration file; configuration
 file).
 
    The 'ImageMagick' package from
 
    <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php>
 
 is required to support output formats other than EPS, PDF, SVG, and PNG
 (convert).  The 'Python 2' interpreter from
 <http://www.python.org> is only required if you wish to try out the
 graphical user interface (GUI).
 
 Example code will be installed by default in the 'examples' subdirectory
 of the installation directory (by default, 'C:\Program
 Files\Asymptote').
