Installing HYSPLIT using the distribution zip file
Posted: June 8th, 2021, 1:46 pm
HYSPLIT distributions for Windows 10 are available in two file formats, namely, an installer executable and a zip file. If you have the administrator privilege for your Windows PC, you might want to use the installer executable.
If you do not have the administrator access, you can install HYSPLIT using the zip file distribution. Download the zip file and unzip it. Move the HYSPLIT folder and everything therein to the C: drive. The end result should have directories C:\HYSPLIT\exec, C:\HYSPLIT\working, and others. Then create the "Run Hysplit" shortcut on your desktop. To create the shortcut, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\HYSPLIT\guicode directory. Right-click the hysplit.tcl file and then choose "Send To > Desktop (Create shortcut)." Rename the created shortcut to "Run Hysplit."
