Deprecated Ion installation notes for Windows

wleroux opened this issue · comments

I was starting a new project, and wanted to try out the ion, however I had trouble finding instructions to install... digging around, I found something promising:

https://ion.sst.dev/docs/reference/cli/

Installed scoop, installed sst... and failed on first run. Not good first impression.

sst version --verbose
⠋ First run, setting up environment...time=2024-06-12T06:17:17.545-04:00 level=INFO msg="installing pulumi"
⠙ First run, setting up environment...time=2024-06-12T06:17:17.680-04:00 level=ERROR msg="exited with error" err="exit status 1"
× Unexpected error occurred. Please check the logs or run with --verbose for more details.

I looked further, found out it was an old version... And windows version was discontinued.

I found out the windows support is planned for the future here: #347 No worries, I'll just go back to sst v1 for now. However, to avoid others following my steps, the documentation should remove the references to windows installation in the above location. Preferably, a note should indicate that windows support will be coming in the future.

Yeah, I am also waiting for windows support. You can use WSL, in theory it works but in practice I had so many issues I had to install ubuntu on another disk

We have a separate issue for this #347
