Glad to hear the Radiance installers we have on the NREL GitHub mirror are working for some folks. The latest version is 4.2.2, and the Windows installer is located here:

https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/download/4.2.2/radiance-4.2.2-win32.exe

Apologies for the state of the Radiance-related tutorials on the NREL OpenStudio site, they are very outdated and overdue for an overhaul. We would like to get some things fixed and updated in the OpenStudio code, prior to revising the docs. Of course if you are merely looking for Radiance, the link above will get you where you need to go straight away.

Hi Jiajie,

I am agree with Germ?n. I also use Radiance in Windows OS (but 8) and the only thing required (in addition to the Radiance execution file) is a Perl interpreter (i.e. Strawberrya and Raspberry), which is needed in order to run some commands, such as genklemsamp.

Take a look at this discussion:

PS: There was also a tutorial about the Radiance Installation on window SO (I guess by NREL) called "Getting Started with Radiance", but it seems to be disappeared.

Cheers,
Giuseppe

Hello Jiajie,

Are you aware of the NREL precompiled WINDOWS Radiance<https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases>? I have succesfully used them at work along with Raspberry Perl. If that does not convince you, I guess you can keep trying Cygwin... but I have no idea how to help you there.

Bye!

Germ?n

hi everyone,

I am a student and i am completely new to Radiance.
I have already installed Cygwin and downloaded the latest source code.
Could someone tell me how to install Radiance on my windows 7 system in detail?

many thanks,
Jiajie
