Prerequisites

  • Windows 10 or 11 (x64)

Installation Guide

Step-by-step instructions for Windows

1

Install Python

If you don't have Python yet, download it from python.org. Make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during installation.

python --version   # Should show 3.10 or higher
2

Install Claude Code CLI

Flash-P uses Claude Code to run AI agents. Install it globally via npm:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
3

Download & run the installer

Click the download button above. Double-click the downloaded .exe file. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click "More info" then "Run anyway" — the app is not yet code-signed.

4

Follow the setup wizard

Choose your installation directory (default is fine). The installer creates Start Menu shortcuts automatically.

5

Install Python dependencies

Flash-P bundles validation scripts that need a few Python packages. Open a terminal:

pip install numpy scipy networkx requests biopython
6

Launch Flash-P

Open Flash-P from the Start Menu. On first launch, go to Settings and configure your Claude API key and working directory.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Flash-P data is stored in ~/Documents/FlashP by default.
  • Auto-updates are built-in — you'll be notified when a new version is available.
  • The app bundles pipeline scripts, example networks (flowering time, shoot branching, breast cancer, p53), and all agent instructions.
