Installation Maji on windows 10 #210

Open RoelWesthoff opened 6 years ago

RoelWesthoff commented 6 years ago

I'm having trouble getting the Maji platform up an running on a standard windows 10 machine. I have full administrative rights. It seems like the installation scripts and setting have nothing to do with windows.

I've installed all the required parts (Yarn, MinGw64, NodeJs, NPM, Cordova, Visual Studio Community edition, etc) but i get all sorts of errors. Too many to even consider putting them on paper.

Is there an installation script for getting Maji up and running on the windows platform? Is there an IDE available? I get a Deja Vue from a long time ago when fiddling around in cmd-boxes.

Hi @RoelWesthoff as discussed in private, Maji is not battle-tested on Windows nor do we have many users using Windows currently.

One of the things that make Windows compatibility more difficult at the moment is the reliance on Bash. While it's not impossible to run Bash on Windows, I understand it's not very convenient either.

For now, I've documented some caveats that apply when using Maji on Windows. For the future I've created a ticket to get rid of the Bash dependency.

For short term if you could provide some specific errors you're running into we might be able to help you get the project going. Alternatively, you could clone this 'empty' Maji app to get started: https://github.com/kabisa/maji-scaffold. From there, you hardly need Bash.
