Instructions are Linux exclusive

Open Nat-Tebb opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

The instructions appear to be solely intended for users of the linux OS, and don't generally seem to work for Windows users, can a separate instruction set be created for Windows users?

What language are you interested in?

I was asking about which programming language.

I was asking about which programming language.

I might be dense, but I was talking solely about operating systems? All i know is the command prompt lines in the instruction set werent working in my windows command prompt, so I was hoping for a translation from Linux instructions to windows instructions?

Right, but we support many different programming languages and some languages are much more likely to want to run on Windows or need different commands on Windows. I'm basically asking, "what page were you looking at that you wished had Windows instructions."

Ahhhhhh, that makes much more sense, I was on the Java install instructions page, sorry for my confusion.

Okay. Glancing at just the quickstart, looks like adding .bat for multiple of the commands would probably be enough. Maybe some of them need / replaced with \ since Windows is finicky on when it will accept forward slashes.
