 The 64-bit version does not contain XSvit. The reason is that 64-bit GtkGLExt libraries are not available. If you want to use XSvit with 64-bit GSvit, we recommend to install both the 32- and 64-bit versions (to different folders). Then set GSvit executable path in File/​Preferences to the 64-bit GSvit executable. Now you can run more demanding computations from XSvit using 64-bit GSvit. The 64-bit version does not contain XSvit. The reason is that 64-bit GtkGLExt libraries are not available.

-We recommend to first uninstall any pre-1.version ​of GSvit as a different set of libraries is distributed since version 1.8.+The default installation paths on 64-bit systems are //​C:​\Program Files (x86)\GSvit\bin\gsvit3d.exe// for the 32-bit ​version, and //​C:​\Program Files\GSvit\bin\gsvit3d.exe// for the 64-bit version.
  
 +The 32-bit binary can run on 64-bit systems too, but there are considerable constraints to the model size due to memory addressing limitations of the 32-bit architecture.
  
-Please note that Gtk, Gwyddion and CUDA libraries are shipped with GSvit. ​You don't have to install them separately.+We recommend to first uninstall any pre-1.7 version of GSvit as a different set of libraries is distributed since version 1.8.

 +Since we switched to MS Visual Studio 2015 with version 1.8.2, you need to have runtime libraries ​for this version. If you have sufficiently new Windows OS (not sure what '​sufficiently'​ is)you should already have themIf not, you can download ​the package from Microsoft websites.

-GSvit is also dependent on Gwyddion'​s libraries, so you need first to install this software. You can download and install it using procedures described on the official [[http://​gwyddion.net/​download.php|Gwyddion download]].

 If you installed Gwyddion in a nonstandard location, you have to set up the //​PKG_CONFIG_PATH//​ variable, e.g. by  ''​export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/​home/​username/​somedir/​gwyddion-X.Y/​lib/​pkgconfig:​$PKG_CONFIG_PATH''​. If you installed Gwyddion in a nonstandard location, you have to set up the //​PKG_CONFIG_PATH//​ variable, e.g. by  ''​export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/​home/​username/​somedir/​gwyddion-X.Y/​lib/​pkgconfig:​$PKG_CONFIG_PATH''​.
