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:

• Make sure that you have rights to install software on your computer (i.e. Admin privileges)
• Install the latest version of ActivePerl (some versions will not work)
• Download the latest TPP here and install

Here are the detailed instructions. The screenshots are large; don't miss the instructions interspersed between them:

Contents 1 First install ActivePerl 2 Next install the MSVC/.Net Frameworks 3 Now install TPP 3.1 Download the TPP from its page at the Sourceforge website 3.2 Double-click resulting icon, then select "run" 3.3 License Agreement - agree 3.4 Installation typically takes less than a minute 3.5 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.

First install ActivePerl

Install the most current version of ActivePerl (we had some issues with 5.9 at some point, but more recent versions seem to work just fine.)

(The instructions below are accurate as of June 13, 2011. Details will change if ActivePerl modifies its website.)

Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/downloads to download the "Community Edition".

Scroll down to the section for ActivePerl 5.12.3.1204 MSI. Select x86 or 64-bit as appropriate and click "Windows Installer (MSI)"

Save to desktop. Double-click to install.

Next install the MSVC/.Net Frameworks

In order to use ProteoWizard's msconvert program (bundled with TPP) you'll need to also have installed the MSVC 2008 SP1 (x86), and the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and 4.0 software packages Microsoft.

• Download and install MSVC 2010 SP1 (x86)
• Download and install MSVC 2008 SP1 (x86)
• Download and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
• Download and install .Net Framework 4.0

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.)

Download the TPP from its page at the Sourceforge website

Click "Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP)"

Click "TPP v4.6 (occupy) rev 3"

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.
