For Machines with a Connection to the Q Drive:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to “Q:\Proton HypersScan Commissioning\Vault1_Commissioning\FLASH Records\QAMgr_Windows”.
3. Double-click “install.py”.
For Machines without a Connection to the Q Drive but with an Internet Connection:
1. Open a Web browser of your choice.
2. Navigate to https://trocksscience.com/mjd.
3. Scroll down to the bottom; under “QAMgr:,” click on the QAMgr_Windows link.
4. Download “QAMgr_Windows.zip” to a directory of your choosing on your machine (for example, “C:\Users\myuser\Downloads\”, which is probably the default). Let’s call this directory “DESTINATION_FOLDER”.
5. In Explorer, navigate to “DESTINATION_FOLDER”.
6. Double-click “QAMgr_Windows.zip”.
7. Double-click the folder “QAMgr_Windows”.
8. Explorer’s menu should automatically switch to “Extract > Compressed Folder Tools”. Click the “Extract All” menu button.
9. Under “Files will be extracted to this folder,” remove “QAMgr_Windows”.
10. Click the “Extract” button.
11. If updating (rather than freshly installing), click the option for “Replace the files in the destination.”
12. Double-click the “QAMgr_Windows” folder.
13. Double-click “install.py”.
For Machines without a Connection to the Q Drive or an Internet Connection:
NOTE: In this case, you will probably only be able to update, as initial installation requires a collection of Python packages from the Internet.
1. Use a machine with either a connection to the Q Drive or an Internet connection to get QAMgr_Windows.zip according to either of the above sets of instructions.
2. Use a thumb drive (or any other method) to copy QAMgr_Windows.zip to a directory of your choosing on the target machine (for example, “C:\Users\myuser\Downloads\”, which is probably the default). Let’s call this directory “DESTINATION_FOLDER”.
3. Go to Step #5 above.
A self-updating script is currently in development; for now, please update QAMgr by simply repeating the installation instructions above.
