Windows

The steps provided below have been tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

C Compiler

In order to install the hdbscan python package later on, a C compiler will be required.

You can install it on Windows through the Visual Studio Build Tools.

🛠️ Procedure

1. Navigate to Microsoft C++ Build Tools
2. Click on Download Build Tools to download the executable
3. Run the executable (proceed until you get the menu Installing - Visual Studio Build Tools...)
4. Check the first box for Desktop development with C++
5. Click on Install (requires 6 Gb of disk space)

6. Wait for the installation to complete. Once done, you can close the Visual Studio Build Tools window

Chocolatey

We recommend using Chocolatey as a package manager to install the necessary requirements for the application on Windows.

🛠️ Procedure

1. Click on the start menu (or press Win on your keyboard)
2. Type PowerShell
3. Right-click on the PowerShell icon
4. Select Run as Administrator (this will open a new elevated terminal)
5. Navigate to Chocolatey installation page
6. Scroll to find the installation command
7. Copy the command
8. Paste it in your elevated terminal
9. Press Enter to execute the command. Wait for the installation to finish.
10. Keep the terminal open for subsequent steps

Python

For Python installation, use the following command:

choco install python3 --version=3.10.11 -y

📦 Other Dependencies

Install the additional dependencies required by the application:

• Node.js
• pnpm
• curl
• ffmpeg

Use the command below to install these dependencies:

choco install nodejs-lts pnpm curl ffmpeg -y

🗑️ Uninstallation

To remove the installed requirements, open an elevated PowerShell window (as described in the Chocolatey section) and run the following command:

choco uninstall python3 nodejs-lts pnpm curl ffmpeg -y

⏭️ Next step

Once completed, close your terminal and proceed to the installation of SSE.
