Using the package on Windows

[asigalov61]

Hey @SgtPooki ,

I was able to install and run this on my local machine (Windows 11) but it does not seem to be doing anything...

It installs the package fine, but the daemon does not appear to start:

All I see in the console is this:

Need to install the following packages: @sgtpooki/bulk-import-cid@1.0.1 Ok to proceed? (y) y

I use your example.txt for texting so there are 3 CIDS in that file.

Can you help me make it work?

Thank you very much.

Alex.

Also, in Google Colab, the daemon appears to start but it seems that colab restricts the connection needed (UDP).

Starting up Kubo daemon...

@SgtPooki A little update...

I got it working on Windows 11. The trick was to add kubo to Windows PATH vars (both system and user) and also I had to run npx package from CMD as an administrator.

MAKE SURE TO RESTART THOROUGHLY so that the paths vars can update on windows.

So it seems to be working great!!! Thank you so much!

Still does not work in Google Colab though and it would be nice to see it integrated into web-ui soon :)

Again, thank you for your great work :)

Not working for me on Windows 11. Best it could be integrated in the ipfs-desktop UI. Can you please do it? I realy need such an feature.
