Resources to install Hoodie on Windows

[gr2m]

One learning from the Welcome to Open Source event is that it’s really hard to install everything on Windows. It’s great news that the real bash is arriving to Windows 10, but older versions will still be around for a while, and for people who do not want or cannot afford a new windows laptop or a mac, we should make sure that the setup experience is great.

My friend James from Windows recommended these things:

1. Windows package manager: https://chocolatey.org/ (kinda like brew)
   • Once installed run: choco install git -params '"/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath"'
   • Blog post on using it to provision dev box: http://www.jamessturtevant.com/posts/Chocolatey-And-Boxstarter/
2. Alternate command line tool for windows 8/7/vista: https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder

That’s all, just wanted to put it here so I don’t forget :D
