Hi there, > I am a Meteorology student with Mississippi State University, and the > coordinator for the > Marissa Emergency Management Agency. I have attempted to install CAVE on a > windows 11 machine. > during the install process, I was only able to locate and install visual > studio 2022. > Furthermore, the command prompt: pip install jep==3.8.2 would not install and > run. > > Any insight or help to complete the install. Thanks for reaching out! We just recently figured out how to completely package the environment and dependent software (python and java) for CAVE for Windows, so we just now updated our installer for v18. If you go back to our installation page, it will look a bit different now: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/#method-1-direct-windows-install All you need to do is download our new installer (has the same name as the previous one), and run that. You should be able to run CAVE afterwards. Please let us know if you have any issues.
