Hi All, Recently several of you have mentioned in the forum that the installation of Arches on Windows machine (especially 64 bit machines) have been problematic or worse. In trying to follow up on some of these questions I recently installed Arches on a 64bit Windows 8 machine and I also ran into a few issues.
The good news is that I was able to eventually install Arches successfully on that machine and in the process I updated the install instructions for both Arches and Arches-hip. Those instructions can be found here: Arches: http://arches3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Arches-hip: http://arches-hip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ If you *CAREFULLY *follow the instructions for installing the dependencies and the application itself then everything should go smoothly. There were a few items that I added to the documentation and they are: 1. Make sure the JAVA_HOME variable points to the parent of the bin directory (see this step <http://arches3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing-dependencies-windows/#install-the-latest-java-development-kit-jdk> ) 2. Windows users need to explicitly point their application to a valid gdal .dll file by adding a GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH setting to their settings.py file (see step #6 in installing Arches-hip <http://arches-hip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting-started/#installating-arches-hip>). This needs to be done before step #7. That was about it. By following the updated instructions I can now successfully install Arches-hip on a 64bit Windows 8 machine (and I can do it consistently)! Hopefully this helps some of the users that were running into issues. Please let the team know if there is something else we missed. Cheers, Alexei -- -- To post, send email to [email protected].
