The OpenQuake Engine is available for Windows in the form of self-installable binary distribution.

• this distribution includes its own distribution of the dependencies needed by the OpenQuake Engine
  • Python 3.6
  • Python dependencies (pip, numpy, scipy, h5py, django, shapely, and few more)
• multiple versions can be installed alongside
• currently does not support Celery (and will never do)

Requirements

Requirements are:

• Windows 10 (64bit)
• 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
• 1.2 GB of free disk space

Windows 7 is deprecated as a platform for running the Engine since it is reaching the End-of-Life. Compatibility with Windows 7 will be removed in next Engine releases.
