Unable to build on Windows (no tar command)

[laurinkeithdavis]

Is there a way to workaround no tar command available on Windows to build this library?

You can also download from Github in Zip format. It's just a choice you make in their UI.

Yeah, and all that does is build a TAR — you can just do rake dist to build a distributable file. This is a low-priority thing now that Windows Subsystem for Linux exists.

@walterdavis - Download what in Zip format? When I download that, the dist folder does not contain the dist file.

@savetheclocktower - Yea, I figured that out at some point and I love that Windows has WSL now, but my Linux is not near as good as my Windows. Still, I might try cause I need to learn.

Thanks.

[walterdavis]

Ah. If you just need the finished JS code, get it from any of the major CDNs. Google has it, CDNJS has it, there are lots of ways to either hot-link it into your pages or download it and serve it yourself.

We use it on an Intranet site and therefore want Internet failure fault tolerance, so we want locally stored resources only.
