Refer to the INSTALL.md file for Windows instructions.

• clipboard gem has been reported to be not working properly under windows

Hi, how exactly would you like for us to report on this? Should I just write a document detailing the process? Is there anything in particular you want me to mention?

[xorond]

@rlgreen91 Hi, I'd like the Windows installation process tested, and I'd also like to know if all the functionalities work properly under Windows. I was reported in another issue that the clipboard gem wouldn't install properly on Windows 7, I'd also like to verify that. (You should install with the optional dependencies to use the clipboard gem). Anything else is up to you :)

Clipboard.copy works fine on Windows 10 after installing FFI gem.

I recommend setting up CI (such as AppVeyor).

@xorond - ok, I'm using Windows 10, so I can write up a document detailing that process if you'd like and submit it as a pull request. I do have an older laptop with Windows 7 on it, so I can try to verify that as well. Hopefully I can get to it this coming weekend for both - I should at least be able to do the Windows 7 one at least.

@rlgreen91 sounds good, thanks.

@bootstraponline can you test all the other functionalities as well (clearing the screen, fake passwords on the clipboard after timer hits zero etc.)?

You can add in Windows 10 into the tested distributions in a pull request if it's all good (You should also document the process of installing etc., I'm not too familiar with Windows :) )

I was just leaving a drive by comment :) I'll let rlgreen91 get the hacktoberfest points.

[xorond]

@bootstraponline alright :)

@rlgreen91 you should test the latest 1.3 tag. https://github.com/xorond/passtrust/releases
