The programs of the [[XDS]] package as well as [[XDSGUI]], [[XDSSTAT]], [[XDSCC12]] and so on may be run on 64bit Windows 10 within the [https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10 Linux Subsystem for Windows] (WSL, or preferably WSL2). This (easily!) installs e.g. an [https://ubuntu.com/wsl Ubuntu] environment, which supports the apt package manager, so in principle any software available for Ubuntu may be installed (or other distros, see [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/11/new-distros-coming-to-bashwsl-via-windows-store/]). | The programs of the [[XDS]] package as well as [[XDSGUI]], [[XDSSTAT]], [[XDSCC12]] and so on may be run on 64bit Windows 10 within the [https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10 Linux Subsystem for Windows] (WSL, or preferably WSL2).

Graphical Linux programs require installation of a X server like [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/latest/download Xming] or [https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv VcXsvr] or [https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ Mobaxterm] on the Windows host.

Performance of coot is good enough for me (100 frames/sec for "Spin view" of a thaumatin molecule, on a Dell XPS13 7390 2-in-1 notebook). XDSGUI and multi-threaded XDS work as expected. | Performance of coot is good enough for me (100 frames/sec for "Spin view" of a thaumatin molecule, on a Dell XPS13 7390 2-in-1 notebook). XDSGUI and multi-threaded XDS work as expected. For reading .h5 files, the NEGGIA plugin works correctly, but the DURIN plugin currently crashes (a [https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin/issues/22 bug] has been reported). | ||
