priyabandaru,

I think the install scripts are geared towards a *nix type platform, I had this same issue. I updated the scripts/refAppConfig.py script and changed line 69 'mvnsettings = ' to point to my user windows user directory specifically (eg C:/Users//.m2/settings.xml). It then worked for me.

Thanks Diane , I will make that change. There are also windows user and they will face this issue .

[dianezhen]

priyabandaru, agreed. This concern has also been noted on the predix forum.

Thanks for letting us know. please use the install script as follows:

python installRefApp.py -s

I will update when the fix will be patched or released.

thanks.

the commandline usage is broken in my previous post:

python installRefApp.py -s maven-settings-xml-file-goes-here

[priyabandaru]

I will update the user about this option . Thank you

windows users need cygwin for now.

we just tested the latest version on windows and it's running fine. We now recommend to use git-bash on windows and will be updating tutorials to state that.
