Install instructions, assuming Windows 64bit (tested on Windows 7 and Windows 10)

1. Git

Go to http://git-scm.com/download/win . A file should be downloaded, the installer for the latest version of Git. Install it.

During the install, be sure to check the following options: -Checkin/Checkout as is (no CRLF replacement) -Add git to system path

2. Pull Git Repo

Pulling the git repo will take the latest version of RoboSim and put it on your PC.

In a windows command prompt:

  • cd to a directory where you want to put RoboSim (C:\Projects\RobotCasserole\ is one option).
  • run "git clone https://github.com/RobotCasserole1736/RoboSim"
    • This should create a new folder "RoboSim", containing the latest release
    • For now, "Latest Release" means the most recent tagged commit
