Install EMOD on Windows

To install EMOD on Windows computers, follow the steps below. You will install the pre-built Eradication.exe and all software necessary to run simulations locally. Optionally, you can install Python virtual environments, software to plot the output of simulations, and EMOD input files for various regions.

The EMOD executable (Eradication.exe) is tested using Windows 10, Windows Server 12, and Windows HPC Server 12 (64-bit). Windows HPC Server is used for testing remote simulations on a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster and the other Windows operating systems are used to test local simulations.
