There are two ways to get the CoolProp wrapper add-in for Mathcad Prime; download the pre-compiled binary from SourceForge or Compile your own.

Precompiled Binaries

The binary DLL file (including nightly builds and release versions) can be downloaded and placed in the Mathcad Prime installation directory.

Goto the SourceForge CoolProp web page.
Browse to the desired version.
Under the MathCADPrime folder, download all three files
- The README.txt files contains these instructions.
- Place the CoolPropMathcadWrapper.DLL file in the Mathcad Prime installation directory under the Custom Functions directory.
- (Optional) Install the Custom Functions Add-in, CustFunc and copy the associated CoolProp_EN.xml file to the Custom Functions\docs folder, creating it if it doesn't exist (this file is optional and for features in development). The CustFunc add-in provides a pop-up (when pressing <F3>) that gives brief descriptions of each implemented function and its input parameters and facilitates inserting these functions into the worksheet.
Restart Mathcad Prime. The add-in, CoolPropMathcadWrapper.DLL will automatically load the from the Custom Functions directory.
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.mcdx file (also found in the Mathcad folder of this repository) in Mathcad Prime for function usage examples. Press <Ctrl>-<F5> to force recalculation of the entire workbook.
The CoolProp functions will not be added to the internal Functions menu as this functionality has not been implemented in PTC Mathcad Prime as of version 11.0.0.0. Users should refer to the usage .mcdx file referenced above and/or the companion PDF of that file. Pop-up insert functionality can be implemented using the additional, optional CustFunc add-in.

You will need to have Visual Studio 2015 or later installed. You will need the professional version of Visual Studio C++, or at least Visual Studio Express 2015 or later, as Mathcad Prime libraries are 64-bit and require the 64-bit compiler. The community edition of Visual Studio will also work.
You will need CMake version 2.8.12 or later from https://cmake.org/download/.
You will need to install Git-SCM for Windows. You can install this from https://git-for-windows.github.io or https://www.git-scm.com.
You will need Anaconda/Miniconda Python, which you can get from https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda. This is needed because the CMake process runs some python scripts that build the fluids and mixtures libraries.

Recursively clone the CoolProp library to a local repository.::

git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
Change directory (cd) to the CoolProp directory you just created.::

cd CoolProp
In the top level CoolProp directory and make a build directory (something like \buildprime)::

mkdir buildprime cd buildprime
Build the makefile using CMake (adjust root string for correct version of Prime)::
```
  cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_PRIME_MODULE=ON  

       -DCOOLPROP_PRIME_ROOT="C:/Program Files/PTC/Mathcad Prime x.0.0.0"  

       -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64"  

       -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
```
NOTE: Replace x.0.0.0 with your latest version. Example: 10.0.0.0

NOTE: Replace Visual Studio 17 2022 with your current Visual Studio compiler version.

NOTE: Visual Studio versions earlier than Visual Studio 2017 will not recognize the bitness flag (-A) and it must be combined into the geneorator -G string with the Win64 suffix, such as:
-G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
Make the dynamic library (DLL)::

cmake --build . --config Release

(Alternatively, open the VS solution created in the build directory with Visual Studio, set the config to Release and x64, and compile the DLL under the Build menu.)

Copy CoolProp\buildprime\Release\CoolPropMathcadWrapper.dll file to C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime x.0.0.0\Custom Functions (replace x.0.0.0 with your current version)
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.mcdx file in MathCAD and press <Ctrl>-<F5> to force recalculation of the entire workbook. This file provides usage examples for the implemented CoolProp Functions.
(Optional) Install the Custom Functions Add-in, CustFunc and copy the associated CoolProp_EN.xml file to the Custom Functions\docs folder, creating it if it doesn't exist (this file is optional and for features in development). The CustFunc add-in provides a pop-up (when pressing <F3>) that gives brief descriptions of each implemented function and its input parameters and facilitates inserting these functions into the worksheet.
