Streamtuner2 also runs on Windows XP and above. <img src="raw/fe3e57c8ddf61ece40db7ccca9815956abf1de12?m=image/png" width=25% height=25% align=right>Since version 2.2.0 it is an officially supported platform.

Since version 2.2.0 it is an officially supported platform.

Streamtuner2 requires a working Python installation first. That includes:

  * Python with Gtk bindings,
  * the requests, pyquery, Python PIL and LXML packages.

### EXE/SFX installer <img src="raw/3890706faa120d8fa8ed57846e87bdb91dfcb300?m=image/png" width=50% height=50% align=right style="margin-left: 15pt">
### Installation

The available **.exe** installer is a self-extracting ZIP. It'll unpack to Unix-style paths `/usr/bin/` and `/usr/share/streamtuner2` per default. However, it's relocatable, and can be installed in any base path meanwhile.

After unpacking it runs a neat post-install script for Windows 7 and above since version 2.2.0 which will download and set up all required dependencies (Python 2.7 + Gtk2) as well as the Start Menu. So it's rather convenient to set up now.

You can also install Streamripper and Python Mutagen from the script, if desired (they are not required for running Streamtuner2).

You still need to configure your audio player (VLC recommended, but WMplayer works) of course.

The installer is a Windows Powershell V2.0 script, so most likely it will not 
execute on Windows XP, although Powershell can also be installed on Windows XP. It wasn't tested on this platform however.
You should a consider a manual installation of Python 2.7 on Windows XP therefore. After doing so you can just run the EXE installer for installation of the Streamtuner2 files. No Start Menu entries will be created in this case however. 


### Alternatives

There are other options to run Streamtuner2 on Windows though:

#### 0install

Simplest option to run Streamtuner2 is per **0install** feed:
It's rather simple to run Streamtuner2 per **0install** feed:

  * [http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml](http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml)

Ought to work for Windows, MacOS and BSD/Linux systems.


#### PYZ package

With the new **.pyz** package it's even easier to use Streamtuner2 however. So that's now the recommended approach. Simply copy it to any folder and start it with:
While the new **.pyz** package is a very convient way to deplay Streamtuner2. It just needs copying to any folder and can be started with:

        python streamtuner2.pyz

Or rename it to have a **.pyzw** extension, in case your setup already picks that up.

(Again, you need a working Python+Gtk setup first.)

### Configuration

Basically the configuration resembles the configuration on BSD/Linux. However there are some differences with respect to path names and utility programs which are not fully reflected in the help files. Please see the respective documentation on the other Wiki pages, namely [Player configuration](http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/wiki?name=player).
