(Windows) - 'sh' is not recognized.

[shahzadns]

Hi, I am a Windows User wind8.1 64bit , i followed the instruction from StackOverFlow Post (that answer which is referring here) but getting errors on npm install.

I cloned the repo (tried both master and windows-updates branch) to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules and then cd meteorite then npm install it gives an error 'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Can you help in that ? Thanks so much!

Got same thing on same windows version.

I was managed to finally install meteorite on windows using cygwin https://cygwin.com/install.html:

...but finally end up with another error wen was just trying to run it.

npm install -g meteorite running well with cygwin bash

Then I've got the below popup once typed mrt in console because I haveMicrosoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool installed in the system.

After I removed mrt.exe from %windir%\system32\ I can run the meteorite by typing mrt but getting an error: Using windows cmd I've got this error:

By running mrt in cygwin bash I've got this error:

Also getting same errors if I just type mrt run

It is might be looking like similar issue here https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite/issues/32 but I didn't manage to resolve this one yet.

@riapp looking at the errors, you seem to be working with Meteor in a very out of date approach. Meteor has had packaging and cordova support for quite some time now. Take a look at meteor help add and meteor help add-platform.

@dburles I was just trying to make mrt working on my Windows machine. Is mrt sort of outdated? Is meteor add is kind of replacement to mrt?
