Ike compatibility with windows

[diniluca1789]

Hi, congratulation for the applicaton and the approach. I tried to install Ike on windows 10 but I run into a problem, namely:

ike@1.0.0 watch C:\dev\workspace\neos\tmp\ike\webapp gulp watch --color

ike 2016-08-12 09:40:21,614 INFO o.a.i.EmbeddingBasedPhrasesSearcher - Loading phrase vectors ... module.js:442 throw err; ^

My question is: is Ike supposed to work on windows or its compatibility is limited to linux systems? Many thanks, Luca (ps of course I installed git and node.js)

Hi Luca, We haven't looked into making IKE compatible with Windows. It has been intended to run only on Linux systems and that is what we have tested so far.

[diniluca1789]

Thanks for the answer, I'll let you know the results of the experiments. Just in case, do you have a prebuilt linux Virtualbox image. Again, thanks for the answer, Luca

[diniluca1789]

In case somebody is interested. Ike can run under windows 10, with the following modifications: The first error is caused by the sbt-plugin trying to execute node.js, which invalidly look for "which npm" whereas on windows is "which npm.cmd". I guess the only solution is to modify the source code and recompile, as we did (probably some slightly less OS dependent solution is possible). Second we had to change slashes in ike\webapp\gulpfile.js, namely replacing slashes and adding some assets directory: { js: 'app\js\DictApp.js', less: 'app\css_.less', allLess: 'app\css_\.less', build: '..\public', jshint: 'app**.js', assets: 'app\assets**' }

With this, ike seems to work plainly on a windows system. Hope it might be useful to somebody, Cheers, Luca

Great, thanks Luca! I will update the documentation with this info.
