Installing MiSaSiM under Microsoft Windows

  1. To install MiSaSiM, first install the latest version of Python 3.11 from the python web site http://www.python.org.

  2. Following installation of python, download the MiSaSiM manager by right clicking on this link . Save the file where you want to install your MiSaSiM directory. Then run this program (e.g., double click it). It will create a MiSaSiM working directory in this location (e.g., "My Documents/Misasim"). Note the messages printed during installation.

    This is where both the MiSaSiM executable files and assembly files will be stored. The working directory will contain an ./asm directory where MIPS assembly programs can be stored and a ./bin directory containing the MiSaSiM python executable (compiled bytecode) files. Double clicking Misasim.py launches the MiSaSiM simulator.

  3. Create a shortcut on the desktop to Misasim.py in the bin directory. Be sure to set the "Start in:" path in the shortcut so automatic updates will work properly.
