To run the algorithm on a windows computer you need to use a windows subsystem please follow the instructions at the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10.
We have tested Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and shown it works so it is preferred over other distributions.
Once your windows subsystem is installed and you are logged-in and inside your ~ (home) directory run the following:
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
To download the latest version of miniconda.
bash ./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
To install miniconda (please select default options).
export PATH=~/miniconda3/bin:$PATH
To activate conda command.
git clone https://github.com/oxquantum-repo/AutoDot.git
This will download a copy of the current repo. After this subsystem setup is complete and you can continue to follow either the quick environment guide or the main documentation.
Download the AutoDot folder and unzip it into your windows downloads folder.
cp -r /mnt/c/Users/<YOUR USERNAME HERE>/Downloads/AutoDot ~/AutoDot
Please replace <YOUR USERNAME HERE> with your windows username. This will copy and paste over the AutoDot folder in your downloads folder to the windows subsystem. After this subsystem setup is complete and you can continue to follow either the quick environment guide or the main documentation.
