Note on installing Salome Platform on Windows 10

Introduction

Salome Platform is a nice open source CAD tool (and much more) that can easily be installed on various nixes. In my work I am encouraged to use the Windows system. As a note to self, this is a small gist on how to install and run Salome Platform on Windows 10 (64 bit).

Installing

Head over to the Salome Platform website and locate the current download link for the Windows binary. Download the zip file and unzip it in a location sensible to you.

Running

After unzipping the downladed file, the run script named "run_salome.bat" can be found in the "SALOME-8.3.0-WIN64\WORK" directory. You can run the script using the "start" command in the Windows command prompt. Not to retype the same thing over and over again I create a small script on my desktop named "start_salome.bat" with the follwing content (where I changed the real path and user to "<PATH_TO_FILE>, please update according to your system):

:: batch script to start Salome on Windows 10

@echo off

start "" c:\Users\<PATH_TO_FILE>\SALOME-8.3.0-WIN64\WORK\run_salome.bat

Finally, you can simply double click the bat file and Salome Platform runs.
