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

First install ActivePerl

Install the most current version of ActivePerl. If you happen to already have ActivePerl installed any versions older than 5.9 should work but are not regularly tested. Our recommendation however is to upgrade to the latest.

Go to www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads to download the "Community Edition". On the right side of the page select either the x86 or 64 bit version and save the download to your desktop. Double-click to install.

(The instructions above are accurate as of March, 2014. Details can change if ActivePerl modifies its website.)

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 2008/2010 SP1 (x86), and the .NET Framework 3.5/4.0 SP1 software packages Microsoft.

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"

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.
