Step 1 - Install Strawberry Perl (5.40.2.1)

Install via following link,

https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/download/SP_54021_64bit_UCRT/strawberry-perl-5.40.2.1-64bit.msi

Installing Strawberry Perl (5.40.2.1) + PDL (2.089)

Note: there might be interest in providing a Windows wxPerl environment that includes the Perl Data Language. See notes on creating a Perl environment using Strawberry Perl that includes PDL. Once this is set up, the rest of the instructions starting with Step 2 below all work the same!

Step 2 - Install Alien::wxWidgets (v 0.71)

Once Perl is installed, look in the Start menu for the Perl "cmd" window or open up PowerShell

  • go to "Start menu" > Strawberry Perl > "Perl (command line)"
  • click the Start menu item, it'll open up a Windows CMD window (traditional black DOS prompt)

Type the command at the "C:" prompt,

C:\> cpanm --verbose https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl/releases/download/R3.008/Wx-3.008.tar.gz

Step 3 - Install Wx (v 3.008)

C:\> cpanm --verbose https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl/releases/download/R3.005/Wx-3.008.tar.gz
