Windows installation

[TheOmen]

Having problems installing the server on Windows. I'm not very experienced with an installation process like this at all but have bundled my way through installing Git, Pip and VirtualEnv (I already had Python installed).

I bypassed installation instruction 5 as I do not know of a equivalent 'source' command in Windows ( % source ~/pyenv/gamification/bin/activate), and completed everything up to point 10 where I hit another problem.

When using this: paver install_dependencies

I get the following error:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I haven't tried a Windows install, but would think that this operation would be supported. I believe what you may need to do first is find the appropriate command from virtualenv that sets up your environment for Windows - does it give you some shell scripts in the bin directory? I think if you're able to do that, the rest may work ok. From your debug screenshot, the install is failing on a 'pip install' (just installing appropriate python dependencies), which is probably due to the fact that the script doesn't know where to actually install the modules. I found some more info at http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html which might be helpful to you

Thanks. Running it in PowerShell now and feel like I have completed steps 1-6 correctly now without missing any, but still hit problems as above.

Could this be causing it? When I install paver it says it was successfully installed but I do also receive an error:
