INSTALLATION: SimPy
This file describes the installation of SimPy 1.5.1.
In order to install SimPy on your system, you will need to perform the
following steps:
- Check that you have Python 2.2 or a later version installed on your
system. If necessary, download it from http://www.python.org and
install it.
- Download and unpack the SimPy archive into a folder. Run "python setup.py install"
in that folder. This will install the SimPy programs in a folder on the Python
search path. It will also create a SimPy1_5_1 folder with all source
code and documentation.
- Run one or more of the programs under /SimPy/SimPyTests to see
whether Python finds the SimPy module. If you get an error message
like "ImportError: No module named SimPy", move the SimPy folder
into a directory which you know to be on the Python module search
path.
- Read the tutorial and manuals and build your own simple models. A
few lines of Python with SimPy calls can already model significant
real systems.
Enjoy simulation programming in SimPy!.
