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 (we recommend
https://www.tug.org/texlive or
http://www.miktex.org) will be required to typeset labels.
You will also need to install GPL Ghostscript version 9.52 or
later from http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public.
To view PostScript output, you can install the
program Sumatra PDF available from
https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/.
The ImageMagick package from
https://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php
is required to support output formats other than HTML,
PDF, SVG, and PNG (see convert).
The Python 3 interpreter from https://www.python.org is only
required if you wish to try out the graphical user interface (see Graphical User Interface).
Example code will be installed by default in the examples
subdirectory of the installation directory (by default,
C:\Program Files\Asymptote).
