How to launch Escher executable on Windows?

[neilpanchal]

I added the directory - C://Users/Username/.julia/v0.4/Escher/bin/escher to the PATH environment variable. When I use windows command line and try to run escher, it gives me an error "escher is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I think the documentation is only for linux/macosx and not applicable to windows. Please provide advice and I will update the documentation.

I think the directory that should be added to the path is "C://Users/Username/.julia/v0.4/Escher/bin/". But anyway this script won't work with windows. What you could do is write your own batch or call escher_serve() from julia, manually. To write your own batch you just have to create a julia file e.g.: start_escher_server.jl:

using Escher
include(Pkg.dir("Escher", "src", "cli", "serve.jl"))
escher_serve()

and then just write a batch which calls julia start_escher_server.jl. That should do the trick.
