Users of the Microsoft Windows operating system can install the
self-extracting Asymptote executable asymptote-x.xx-setup.exe,
where x.xx denotes the latest version.
A working TeX implementation (such as the one available at
http://www.miktex.org) will be required to typeset labels.
You will also need to install GPL Ghostscript from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/.
To view the default PostScript output, you can install the
program gsview available from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/.
The ImageMagick package from
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php
is required to support alternate output formats (see convert),
including the graphical user interface and animations.
The Python interpreter from http://www.python.org is only required
if you wish to try out the graphical user interface (see GUI).
Example code will be installed by default in the examples
subdirectory of the installation directory (by default,
C:\Program Files\Asymptote).
