Python: missing windows prerequisite
roblogic opened this issue · comments
Assuming the user has npm, they will also need Python installed somewhere, lest they get a horrible message like this.
Please consider adding the following to the README:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Python should now be installed to %USERPROFILE%\.windows-build-tools\python27.
Another problem in the README:
git clone git@github.com:mads-hartmann/ide-bash && cd ide-bash won't work with Windows Powershell. A possibly more platform-agnostic approach is:
cd <somewhere>
git clone https://github.com/mads-hartmann/ide-bash.git
cd ide-bash
(https is more friendly to users on corporate networks)
@papesch I know next to nothing about getting a proper developer environment up and running on Windows. Could I persuade you to open a PR with these additions to the README?

PS: pull request? possibly, never tried it :P
@papesch Thanks a lot for the hints! Could I get you to comment this in the other issue - perhaps someone on a windows computer wants to try it out 👍
The issues in bash-lsp/bash-language-server#41 seem more specific to VS Code, but a similar problem to the Atom spawn issue I suppose. Could be mitigated by #1
