Intel FORTRAN and C++ Compilers from Physics Servers.

Windows compilers.

You may obtain the Intel Compiler kits from \\LOCALKITS.physics.ox.ac.uk\OxKits_IntelCompilers\ on the Physics Network System using the instructions for obtaining kits.

An Intel Compiler licence is required.

Each compiler kit includes the C++ or FORTRAN compiler and the Intel Math Kernel Library.

In general the Windows version is licensed from the Physics licence server and the Linux compilers are licensed from the University licence server. However, that's varied over time and so the University licence server also provides some licences for older Windows versions.

Vector graphics package.

Use Self Service to install software without privileges.

CorelDRAW may only be used on Departmental systems and home systems of University staff.

A CorelDRAW licence is needed and requires authentication with your Physics-wide network account.

Platform: Windows

Origin Installation Notes .

Make sure that you have performed the preceding steps of the Origin Quick Installation Summary before proceeding with this.

You may do the following when installing Origin. Note that details may differ with different versions of Origin and system conditions.

Ensure that you save the details of the serial number and licence server information to separate files on a local disk before starting the installation.

IDL in Astrophysics, for usage on Astrophysics desktop systems.

Instructions for a Windows System.

To access copies of software distribution kits on our local server from a Windows system you may do the following.

Click on Start

Click on Run

Type in: \\LOCALKITS.physics.ox.ac.uk\OxKits_xxxxxxx\

( where xxxxxxx is the name of the package you want e.g. "MATLAB" )

You will then be prompted for your Physics Windows network authentication details:

Username: physics\yourusername

Password: yourpassword

You will then see the MATLAB kits.

Data acquisition and control, data analysis, and data presentation.

Physics no longer purchases a LabVIEW site license this is due to the significant increase in license costs and National Instruments move to a annual subscription service. If you need to purchase a subscription license please contact NI directly.

Alternatively a number of groups have already moved to Python as a alternative, we would recommend installing Anaconda distribution, this allows for multiple virtual environments.

As viruses become more prevalent its now imperative to have virus scanning software installed on your Windows desktop systems. IT Services have Sophos for all university systems.

Please visit our Sophos Page for more details.

Windows 7 is no longer supported. If you have a special requirement that may need this then speak directly to IT Support.
