Re: Installation from pre-compiled packages On Windows

[Konstantinos Poulios]

Dear Dario,

There is a discussion about building GetFEM on Windows here:

https://getfem.discourse.group/t/building-getfem-package-for-windows/15

My motivation for supporting this build is only in order to be able to create pip packages for Windows, which I haven't managed to do 100% yet.

Independent of the outcome of this, I would strongly recommend you to forget about native Windows packages and use WSL instead:

1) Enable WSL in your Windows and install some recent ubuntu version

2) In your WSL/Ubuntu, run "sudo apt install getfem-python"
3) enjoy

For future questions, I would recommend you to post in https://getfem.discourse.group

Best regards

Dear Developer,

My name is Magni Dario, and I am currently attempting to install the GetFEM 5.4 library on a Windows system. 

I have followed the instructions provided on your website, where it was mentioned to first install Anaconda 3. 

I have installed Anaconda 3 in the C:\Anaconda3 directory and then proceeded to install getfem5.4win-amd64-py3.7.exe in the C:\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\getfem folder. I would like to confirm if this is the correct installation directory for the GetFEM library.

Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on any further steps required to ensure the library is correctly installed and functioning as expected in the Windows environment with Python 3.7 from Anaconda 3.

Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,
