How to run SymPy on Windows

Download

Install Python from:

http://python.org/download/

by downloading the "Python 2.6 Windows installer" (or Python 2.5 or 2.4) and running it.

Install msysgit:

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

by downloading and running the .exe in "Featured Downloads". Select to only install "Git Bash". There should be a "Git Bash" executable on your Desktop. Run it:

<source lang="bash"> $ echo "export PATH=/c/Python26/:\$PATH" > .bashrc </source> Close and open the bash terminal window again. Then: <source lang="bash"> $ git clone git://git.sympy.org/sympy.git $ cd sympy $ bin/isympy </source>

Enjoy!

You can also run python just like on linux: <source lang="bash"> $ python >>> import sympy >>> </source>
