Phycas is a Python application. You must have Python 2.5 or 2.6 installed on your system before installing Phycas on your Windows PC. To find out which version of Python you have, open a console window and type python -V.

Python note: If you have just installed Python on your system, you may have to tell Windows where to find it. See Telling Windows where to find Python for details.

Vista note: Right-click the installer and choose "Run as administrator" to install. To uninstall, go to the button formerly known as Start, choose All Programs, then Phycas, finally right-clicking the Uninstall Phycas shortcut and choosing "Run as administrator"

Uninstall first! Please uninstall any older versions of Phycas before installing a new version.
