How to install GnuPlot on windows?
You don't have to install MinGW or Cygwin. Actually packages compiled in MinGW are compatible with Windows. Just download the binary of gnuplot
from Their repo and you are good to go.
Additional points:
- When installing, check which terminals you want to set up; also
check if you want the installer to add the
PATH
variable to your system. Also, create a desktop shortcut. - After installation, you should see the desktop shortcut. Clicking on it should open a terminal-based
gnuplot
(which hopefully you are familiar with).
Please note that I have used the x11
terminal (you can get this working by installing xming). There are other options such as windows
and qt
terminals, but I am not an expert on using these.
