2.3 Microsoft Windows

Users of the Microsoft Windows operating system can install the self-extracting Asymptote executable asymptote-x.xx-setup.exe, where x.xx denotes the latest version.

A working TeX implementation (we recommend https://www.tug.org/texlive or http://www.miktex.org) will be required to typeset labels. You will also need to install GPL Ghostscript version 9.56 or later from https://www.ghostscript.com/.

To view PostScript output, you can install the program Sumatra PDF available from https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/.

The ImageMagick package from https://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php

is required to support output formats other than HTML, PDF, SVG, and PNG (see magick). The Python 3 interpreter from https://www.python.org is only required if you wish to try out the graphical user interface (see Graphical User Interface).

Example code will be installed by default in the examples subdirectory of the installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files\Asymptote).
