Binary releases

Precompiled binaries are available for Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X. The Windows binary has been tested under Windows XP SP3 and the Mac binary was tested under Leopard. These binaries will likely run under newer versions of these operating systems (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Snow Leopard). If you are running one of these newer operating systems we would appreciate knowing if these binaries worked for you.

Note: if you have a pristine copy of Microsoft Windows installed you may need to install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package. This package contains a number of commonly required runtime components and as such you likely already have them. STAMP will fail with a message indicating the "configuration is incorrect" if you require this package.

Source code

STAMP is implemented in Python and running it from source is fairly easy. Any operating system that supports Python should be able to run STAMP from source. Running from source is the best way to fully exploit and contribute to STAMP. STAMP is dependent on the following libraries:

After you have installed Python and the above libraries, extract the STAMP source code files to a directory (e.g., C:\STAMP). You can now run STAMP by moving to the source directory and entering 'python STAMP.py' on your command line. If you get an error message indicating Python cannot be found you likely need to add it to your system path (check out this website for instructions). If you have trouble installing STAMP please feel free to contact us.
