incidently, i've been reading this post that gives some clues to the issue

iajrz commented 6 years ago

Has anyone tried to run um using Windows recently?

The elimination of the pandoc dependency may mean that, intuitively, this should "just work".

@iajrz Definitely using um to maintain text files should work. Can you install man on windows though?

iajrz commented 5 years ago

Last time I installed Cygwin (a decade ago, give or take) it included man.

Yet I think interest in using um in a Windows environment is rather limited to non-existent, though. Given no follow-ups and, most crucially, no testing volunteers - I'd probably close this issue.

Windows 10 users can use Linuxbrew in WSL. Given the givens, that might be a good official answer.

Absent a choco package, that seems to be the best option ^
