Hi, unfortunately, Xcessiv does not currently support Windows as it uses RQ as its job queue.

I can't really give a timeline as to when I'll decide to fully support Windows as that would require rewriting to use Celery instead of RQ, and I think there are quite a lot more pressing issues I'd like to focus on at the moment. But this issue is noted and if demand for Windows support is indeed big enough, I'll consider working on it sooner.

For the meantime, perhaps consider using a Docker image? Since Xcessiv is basically a web server, just run it on Docker and you'll be able to use any browser you have on Windows.

EDIT: Seeing that Celery has also dropped support for Windows since v0.4, there's even less motivation for me to switch to Celery just to support Windows.

For everyone using Windows, as of v0.2.1, Xcessiv now provides an experimental Docker image. Please visit the documentation for usage.

@reiinakano, I was able to utilise Windows Linux Subsystem to run it. Wrote a tutorial running Python apps on WSL. The Ubuntu on Windows is sufficient to run the software.

@ArunNairID That sounds awesome! Could you link it? It would be great for people running on Windows as an alternative to Docker.
