Add information about GNU Patch

Open jwebbdev opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

When running mean init we should at the very least detect if the platform is windows and give a link to https://git-scm.com/download/win for installing GNU Patch as only the latest version works with Snyx and the version that comes up first in search results does not.

Ideally we could parse 'patch -v' to sort out if it's recent enough, but for now I think people would be happen with it being obvious how to successfully install on windows.

I had to add to path as well C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

C:\Users\Tim>patch -v
GNU patch 2.7.5

Img instructions for those inclined how to add patch to path
