Windows Installation Guide
From SPCTools
Intalling the Windows version of the TPP is fairly straightforward. Detailed instructions with lots of screenshots appear below. However, the following brief instructions may be sufficient:
- Install ActivePerl 5.8 (later versions will not work)
- Install ActivePython
- Download the latest TPP here and install
Here are the detailed instructions. The screenshots are large; don't miss the instructions interspersed between them:
First install ActivePerl 5.8 and ActivePython
ActivePerl
Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl
DON'T click "Download Now" -- click "Get ActivePerl" in right sidebar, then click "Download" from next screen.
Next screen asks for personal data -- not necessary to enter. Just click Continue.
Download ActivePerl 5.8.8.824 MSI. Select x86 or 64-bit as appropriate.
Save to desktop. Double-click to install.
ActivePython
The ActivePython installation is very similar to the ActivePerl installation.
- Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activepython
- Click "Download" for Standard distribution
- Next screen asks for personal data -- not necessary to enter. Just click "continue".
- Download MSI latest version of ActivePython. Select x86 or 64-bit as appropriate.
- Save to desktop. Double-click to install.
Now install TPP
(If you are not currently reading this from the spctools.org website: go to www.spctools.org/wiki, click on TPP in left nav bar, and click Windows Installation.)
Go to the TPP page at the Sourceforge website
Select .exe file and save to desktop
Double-click resulting icon, then select "run"
License Agreement - agree
Installation typically takes less than a minute
You will see a welcome install popup -- read and click OK. You will see another popup asking to install and configure a webserver on your computer. This is necessary. If you agree, click OK. Finally you will see an "installation complete" popup -- choose whether to reboot now or later.
