Abjad installation instruction for windows

[Gianmaria Lari]

Hello,

I'm on Windows 10.

I already have python 3.10.5 and lilypond 2.23.9 installed.

I would like some help to install Abjad.

Thanks!

Hi,

Abjad's install instructions aren't tested for windows:

https://abjad.github.io/first_steps/windows.html

You can try following the instructions for macOS, or Linux:

https://abjad.github.io/first_steps/macos.html

Or maybe there's a Windows user on this list who can help you. Good luck!

Trevor.

Thank you Trevor for your message!

Today I tried to install it on WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux, debian distribution). 

Everything worked until the last fateful command:

abjad.show(...)

This command unfortunately generates an error caused by the lack of GUI support. I also tried to install a GUI but failed today... I will try again in the next days.

Anyway, I would still like to be able to make it work under native windows. I'll try and keep you posted here.

Kind regards, g.

Ciao Trevor,

I have been able to install Abjad on windows and I wrote some instructions that could be useful to others.

Here the documents: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LpMW-UuAxqR2pP5o-VGKMLSjXZJGi0R69SJd0_0Tiak/edit?usp=sharing

Best regards, g.

P.S. English is not my first language....

Ciao Gianmaria!

The install docs read great; did you test them against Abjad 3.10 (the latest version of Abjad)?

Thank you Trevor! I am glad if it can be helpful to other users. If you want, please feel free to use it in the Abjad ufficial page.

Well I didn't do anything to avoid the latest version :) I did a quick look at the Abjad api but I didn't find a function for printing the Abjad version. Isn't there a way to print it?

Ok, sounds good! Is it ok if I direct other Windows users to you, if they have questions when following the new install docs?

Yup, try:

 python
Python 3.10.5 (v3.10.5:f377153967, Jun  6 2022, 12:36:10) [Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import abjad
>>> abjad.__version__
'3.10'
