| For users of Windows 10 the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux|Windows Subsystem for Linux]] is an option which allows installing libRadtran inside the subsystem. When using this subsystem be aware of the differences between Windows and Linux, e.g., with respect to pathnames (case-sensitivity, treatment of spaces, slash vs backslash). |
