Installation guide for Windows need more clarification on directory structure

Open madjxatw opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Summary

I installed v2raya manually on Windows .When I put xray.exe and geosite.dat alongside the v2raya.exe, v2raya just didn't find the geosite database and tried to download from Internet but failed with error 429. I looked into the source code and found out that v2raya seems to look for a folder named v2ray for v2ray core or xray for xray core. However, the installation guide for Windows only says something like "download v2ray/xray core and unpackage the archive".

Basic example

The manual installation needs to be detailed about geosite.dat a bit.

Motivation

Make the docs more accurate.

Thanks! I need to use --v2ray-bin to specify my v2ray core executable and -c to specify where to load my geosite.dat and geoip.dat files. Hopefully these could be clarified in the docs

Yes. This file is in the installation directory of v2raya.

It should be noted in the docs in the future.
