<H1>Installation</H1>
<P>
There is no need to compile anything since the whole program is just
a Python script. Just run it, and that's all.
<P>
PySol requires Python 1.5.2 and Tcl/Tk 8.0.5 or better. Both packages are
freely available for Unix, Windows and Macintosh platforms.
<P>
PySol is free <I>Open Source</I> software distributed under the terms of the
<A HREF="license.html">GNU GPL</A>.
<H2>Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000</H2>
PySol now ships as a completely self-contained setup file, so there's
no need to install anything else.
<P>
If you want to modify the PySol source code or write your own
Python programs you can get the development system from
<A HREF="http://www.python.org/download/download_windows.html">http://www.python.org/download/download_windows.html</A>
<H2>Unix</H2>
There are good chances that your system already ships with Python and Tcl/Tk.<BR>
Otherwise visit
<A HREF="http://www.python.org/download/">http://www.python.org/download/</A>
for full source code.
<P>
Also, installable packages exist for all major Linux distributions,
FreeBSD and HPUX.
<H2>Macintosh</H2>
Self installing exectuables for Python and Tcl/Tk are available from<br>
<A HREF="http://www.python.org/download/download_mac.html">http://www.python.org/download/download_mac.html</A>
<P>
As I don't have access to a Mac I'd appreciate any detailed feedback on
installation and look & feel. "Porting" from X11 to Windows only required
some minor changes in the default font settings, so I hope the situation on Macs
is similar.
<P>
[ I have been told that PySol works fine on a Mac - just drop "pysol.py"
on the Python interpreter and that's it. But for some reason you must
assign a large amount of memory to the Python interpreter. ]
