Installation Tasks¶

Step 1) Install UHD and GNU Radio from installers

• Install UHD win32, see the Windows instruction page.
  • In the installer wizard, choose to add uhd to the system path.
• Install GNU Radio win32 from the installer package
  • In the installer wizard, choose to add uhd to the system path.
• Set the %25PYTHONPATH%25 environment variable for your gnuradio install, this is usually:
  • c:\program files (x86)\gnuradio\lib\site-packages
  • I highly recommend using Rapid Environment Editor
• From the UHD Windows installation instructions:
  • download and install MSVC Redistributable Package

Step 2) Install python dependencies

All dependencies are available in .exe format, with the exception of the easy_install stuff.
Note: dependencies are optional, they can be installed on a need-to-use basis.

• Install the python interpreter: http://www.python.org/download/
• Install numpy: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/
• Install pygtk (all-in-one installer): http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html
• Install pyqt: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download
• Install pyqwt: http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/download.html
• Install wxPython: http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
• Install setup tools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
  • Use easy_install.exe from setup tools to install Cheetah
  • Use easy_install.exe from setup tools to install lxml
    • If that fails, get lxml from here
