GuiPy

Before installing GuiPy, a version 3.6 or higher of Python should be installed. Python can be download from http://www.python.org/.

A 64-bit version of GuiPy works only with a 64-bit version of Python and a 32-bit version of GuiPy works only with a 32-bit version of Python.

Download the current personal version of GuiPy and start the installation. GuiPy will start and is ready to use.

If you receive a security warning from the operating system, you can use an online virus scanner to convince yourself that this security warning is unfounded.

Besides the personal installation it is possible to install GuiPy as portable software or as classroom installation.

Download the current special version, unpack the zip file to a temporary folder and run the setup.exe program as administrator.

Select the desired installation folder with the corresponding button. This may be a local folder or a folder in your network. In the latter case you use either the UNC-notation \\Server\NetworkShare\JavaEditor or a network drive letter.

In a classroom situation the installation in a network folder is prefered, because a required update is only necessary on the server and it is possible to make configuration presettings for all users.

The file GuiPyMachine.ini is created in the GuiPy folder, which contains the protected configuration settings and the global settings for all users. From this file GuiPy reads the path of the file GuiPyUser.ini, which contains the user specific configurations.

As you can see in the picture, it is possible to use the variable %Username% to specify the path for GuiPyUser.ini. Normally this path is in the home directory of the user.

To set configurations settings global for all users you copy them from a GuiPyUser.ini to the GuiPyMachine.ini file.

You can select the option „Portable Application“ to install GuiPy as portable software, which runs directly from an usb stick. GuiPy than uses automatically the drive of the usb-stick.

Use the setup.exe program to deinstall GuiPy.
