Installation
This file describes the installation of SimPy 2.0.1.
In order to install SimPy on your system, you will need to perform the
following steps:
- Check that you have Python 2.3 or a later version (not 3.0) installed on your
system. If necessary, download it from http://www.python.org and
install it.
- Download and unpack the SimPy archive into a folder (using option “Use folder
names” in WinZip, “Re-create folders” in Linux Archive Manager, or
similar option in your unpacker). This will create a SimPy-2.0.1 folder with all source
code and documentation. Run “python setup.py install” in that folder. This
will install the SimPy programs in a folder on the Python
search path (typically /Lib/site-packages).
- Run one or more of the programs under /SimPy-2.0.1/SimPyModels to see
whether Python finds the SimPy module. If you get an error message
like “ImportError: No module named SimPy”, move the SimPy folder
into a directory which you know to be on the Python module search
path (like /Lib/site-packages).
- Read the tutorial and manuals and build your own simple models. A
few lines of Python with SimPy calls can already model significant
real systems.
Enjoy simulation programming in SimPy!
