FORM compatibility #450

Open deepnee opened 1 year ago

deepnee commented 1 year ago

Is FORM compatible with windows 8? I am unable to install it on windows 8.

Windows is not officially supported. But it may work if you have a Unix-like environment (e.g., Cygwin) and if you build it from the source.

If you really need a native Windows executable (without POSIX), then the --with-api=windows option should be passed to configure.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is also a good option here.

Can you provide us with the error? What have you tried?

deepnee commented 1 year ago

Please let me know is a laptop with 4 GB RAM enough to install FORM or not. What should be the minimum memory size of the RAM?

benruijl commented 1 year ago

4GB should be enough. Probably < 1 GB would be enough too.
