Running Kratos Standalone under Windows

Version 3.0.1 has been precompiled in Windows 7 and zipped including all the necessary libraries, so that you don't have to install anything in order to run Kratos.

Also, python is embedded in the Kratos folder, so there's no need to install it to run the Python scripts used to launch your problems. Instead, an executable is provided ( runkratos.exe ) that starts the embedded Python). This command replaces the keyword python used before the filename of the script.

As an example, let us suppose that your installation folder of kratos is: C:\kratos_install_dir, and our problem is located in C:\my_problem , with the script: my_script.py. Then the command needed to launch the problem will be:

C:\kratos_install_dir\runkratos.exe my_script.py
