Method to Install on Windows (Tested and Working)

[JeremiLorenti]

I'm fairly new to GitHub, so I am not sure of the proper way to have my updated code be checked and added to the main repo. Hoping someone can guide me. But for now, below is the edited make file I made and used to get this working on Windows 11.

Thank you! skimped through it quickly and indeed it should work, can you open a pull request for this change?

Here is the tested bat file, remove the txt extension, or create a new bat file and put it in the root of the project

make.bat.txt

When I run the make.bat file it complains that it can't find the .env file.

When first running it I had common.env and after that I renamed it to .env and it still returns the same error.

No need to rename anything, download and run, just enter the data, your keys common.env, Don't forget to run docker

@seoeaa That is exactly what I did first time. Docker is running. Filled in details in common.env, ran the .bat script and got that error.

It is only after that that I copied the common.env to .env, thinking that I couldn't get the error. But at the common.env always existed, so I'm not clear why the error if it worked in your case.

I had to rename common.env to .env and copy it over.

Here's a vid of how my output looks like in case it helps with troubleshooting, in case anyone is interested. I still haven't figured it out.

@seoeaa Thank you very much. It worked this time.

I'm not clear why it didn't work the first time since I didn't touch the common.env file at first. I had only renamed it after it first failed.

In any case. Thanks a lot for the script, and your time and patience!

I just checked it with a clean install, downloaded it from github, put the file in the root, started it, everything works, you don’t need to change anything, just add data to common.env
