And then [[#Setting up|set up]].
 
Box Of Stops is reasonably un-fussy about the version of Windows you use - Vista or later is fine. And it's likely your Windows install has at least the spec of a Raspberry Pi.
== Installing Java ==
If you don't already have it installed, Java can be freely downloaded from [http://java.com java.com]. This will automatically download the latest version. For reference, Box Of Stops will work with any version of Java 8.
If you are downloading from Firefox you will get a message about being unable to run Java as a plugin - this is not a problem for Box Of Stops.

== Installing Python ==
 
Similarly, if you don't already have Python, this can be downloaded for Windows from [https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ here]. The latest version of Python 3 is recommended. Typically it is the "Windows x86-64 executable installer" you need, unless you have an 32 bit environment.
 
Please ensure when installing Python that you tick the option to add it to your PATH:

Then click "Install Now" to take the standard settings.
 
Once the install is complete, there is no need to Disable the path limit as suggested.
