14+ Pre-packaged Installer
15+ ----------------------
16+
17+ Begining with version 1.2, ActivitySim is now available for Windows via a
18+ pre-packaged installer. This installer provides everything you need to run
19+ ActivitySim, including Python, all the necessary supporting packages, and
20+ ActivitySim itself. You should only choose this installation process if you
21+ plan to use ActivitySim but you don't need or want to do other Python
22+ development. Note this installer is provided as an "executable" which (of course)
23+ installs a variety of things on your system, and it is quite likely to be flagged by
24+ Windows, anti-virus, or institutional IT policies as "unusual" software, which
25+ may require special treatment to actually install and use.
26+
27+ Download the installer from GitHub `here <https://github.com/ActivitySim/activitysim/releases/download/v1.2.0/Activitysim-1.2.0-Windows-x86_64.exe `__.
28+ It is strongly recommended to choose the option to install "for me only", as this
29+ should not require administrator privileges on your machine. Pay attention
30+ to the *complete path * of the installation location. You will need to know
31+ that path to run ActivitySim in the future, as the installer does not modify
32+ your "PATH" and the location of the `ActivitySim.exe ` command line tool will not
33+ be available without knowing the path to where the install has happened.
34+
35+ Once the install is complete, ActivitySim can be run directly from any command
36+ prompt by running `<install_location>/Scripts/ActivitySim.exe `.
