this will install all of the libraries and a few applications

|

For running the file sharing application, see [RUNNING](RUNNING.md)
|

|

#### On windows:
|
||||
|
||||
Install [mingw32](http://www.mingw.org/) base and c++ compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
Add C:\MinGW\bin to the windows PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable distutils to compile with mingw32 by creating a distutils.cfg file in *PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils* containing
|
||||
```
|
||||
[build]
|
||||
compiler = mingw32
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If using virtualenv, copy the *PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils* directory to the virtualenv.
|
||||
|
||||
It's recommended to use [Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) for as many of the required packages as possible.
|
||||
Currently, available binaries include:
|
||||
- Cython
|
||||
- Twisted
|
||||
- Zope.interface
|
||||
- pywin32
|
||||
- Yapsy
|
||||
- cx_Freeze
|
||||
- requests
|
||||
- gmpy
|
||||
|
||||
Install the each of the preceding binaries with `pip install *.whl`
|
||||
|
||||
Install pywin32 system files by run `python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install` from an elevated command prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the rest of the required modules with the standard `pip install module` command
|
||||
|
||||
The one module which requires additional work is [miniupnpc](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/miniupnpc/1.9).
|
||||
Download the source and compile with MinGW by running `mingw32make.bat`
|
||||
Then install the module by running `python setupmingw32.py install`
