Hi, I am Shashi. Currently I am using 32 bit Window-8.1 opearting system.

When I install root version-6, I am getting this.

In my labtop, there is 4GB RAM, I can not use virtula box instead.

I’m not sure it will work on Windows 8, but you need at least to install Visual Studio with the Desktop development with C++ option

I seems that ROOT 5 is working on 32 bit Window-8.1 opearting system.

Is’nt It?

[bellenot]

Yes, but the ROOT 6 interpreter has a completely different mechanism, it uses a JIT compiler and needs the C++ headers

[Shashi_Samdarshi]

ROOT 5 supports on 32 bit Window-8.1 opearting system.

Should ROOT-6 support on 32 bit Window-8.1 opearting system as well?

[bellenot]

Well, I guess it should work, if you can install Visual Studio on it. And FYI, Windows 8.1 has reached end of support on January 10, 2023

Does ROOT-5 support Python (pyROOT)?

If yes, which version of Python support ROOT-5?

[bellenot]

ROOT v5.34/38 was built with Python 2.7
