Windows 10 - 64bit:

Step 1 - downloading Python

This downloads Python for you, the version that has been used for testing (3.7.4. - 64-bit)

Step 2 - installing Python and libraries

This initiates Python installation for you.

If this fails, open the downloaded Python (InstallPython.exe), and make sure to enable the option "Add to PATH" during the first step of installation

After Python has been installed

Double click the CheckLibraries.py in the installation folder.

This installs the libraries needed to run AquaResp 3.0 ASAP The buttons will change to green and display "OK" when libraries are installed.


If this step is failing, open the command prompt (WinButton + R, write "cmd", and press enter), and run the installation commands for the specific library. The following are needed for AQ3
