Executable

The Windows installer can be found at the release. Click on the SimPlot++-x.x-win64.msi file to download it.

  2. Create a new virtual environment (venv) in your Windows PowerShell using python3 -m venv SimPlot++_venv .
  3. Still in the PowerShell, enter the new venv using SimPlot++_env/Scripts/Activate.ps1.

  5. Launch SimPlot++ using python3 main.py.
