====== Installation of Takin ======

{{ :takin:install2.svg?nolink&120}}

//Takin// is developed under Linux and the newest version can be always compiled directly from [[https://code.ill.fr/scientific-software/takin|the repository]]. From time to time, we compile [[https://forge.frm2.tum.de/public/takin/|prepared packages]] for Ubuntu, RedHat, macOS and Windows.

There is not yet installer of Takin for Mac and Windows. Compiled version can run standalone without any installation.

===== macOS =====
    - [[takin:download|Download latest Mac version]].
    - Use control-click on downloaded file and select "open" (because app is currently unsigned)
    - The Mac version contains all features from Linux version.


===== Ubuntu =====
  - [[takin:download|Download latest Ubuntu version]].
  - Install the package (replacing <takin.deb> with the name of the downloaded file; note the "./" in front of the file name): <code>apt-get install --fix-broken ./<takin.deb></code>


===== Windows (experimental) =====
    - [[takin:download|Download latest windows version]]
    - Unpack downloaded file. We recommend to use open source utility [[http://www.7-zip.org/|7-Zip]].
    - Run takin.exe
    - Native Windows version is not able to run Python/Julia scripts, so convolution fitting is very simplified. In order to use all Takin features on Windows, we recommend using Ubuntu version under Windows 10. See below.


=====  Windows subsystem for Linux (preferred for Windows) =====
  * **Instalation**
    - Users of Windows 10 can run native version of Takin under Linux subsystem.
    - Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux
      - Open PowerShell as Administrator and run: <code>Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux</code>
      - Follow the instructions, restart the computer if needed
    - Run Bash (Start --> Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)
    - Check, if you have version 16 of Ubuntu <code>lsb_release -a</code>If not, you need to upgrade your linux by running ''sudo do-release-upgrade'' 
    - Perform a system update ''sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade''
    - Install Xming, we recommend to use Setup wizard ([[https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/|official page]])
    - [[takin:download|Download latest Ubuntu version]].
    - Install the package (replacing <takin.deb> with the name of the downloaded file): <code>dpkg -i <takin.deb></code>
  * **Run takin**
    - Start Xming
    - Start bash
    - Run <code>DISPLAY=:0 takin</code>
    - Alternatively you can create a shortcut to ''bash -c "DISPLAY=:0 takin"'' and use [[http://wiki.mlz-garching.de/_media/takin:takin.ico|TAKIN icon]] for it.
