The entire toolchain is free and open source. In the end result, you’ll have a compiler, key makefile capabilities, and a decent text editor. This tutorial assumes you have a 64-bit CPU running on a 64-bit operating system.
These instructions should work for any modern Windows installation, say Windows 7 or above. These instructions should get you up and running with a minimal environment for compiling 64-bit C++ projects with OpenMP (e.g., BioFVM and PhysiCell) using a 64-bit Windows port of gcc. OSX users should use this guide for Homebrew (preferred method) or this guide for MacPorts (much slower but reliable). Note: This is the part of a series of “how-to” blog posts to help new users and developers of BioFVM and PhysiCell.
