I tried Parabeac with my windows machine. it failed this line

• Using batch file for windows. all scripts inside pb-scripts are for *nix System.

install.sh

echo "[INFO]: Installing Para-beac core and its dependencies"
dart pub get
cd SketchAssetConverter && npm i
echo "Installed Sketch Asset Converter dependencies"

to

install.bat

@echo off

echo "[INFO]: Installing Para-beac core and its dependencies"
pub get
cd SketchAssetConverter
npm i
echo "Installed Sketch Asset Converter dependencies"

Error message here.

I believe we can revisit this when we have support for Figma, since we rely on the Sketch-tool library that's only available on Mac, we can't produce images on Windows from Sketch. Although, I'm curious if we should even support Sketch on Windows if you can't use Sketch on Windows. Maybe the default should be Figma for Windows.

I think if working Parabeac on mac well, support windows have no problem. At this time we focus on Parabeac-Core on *nix system.

PBC supports windows with Figma now, you can watch a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr52-9Ni4Ds
