Unable to run terminusdb-bootstrap on windows pro

[mukil]

Hey there, I wanted to have a closer look at terminusdb-server and play around with its type building tools (schemas) etc. but despite several attempts I could not get it running on windows. Hope this helps & Cheers!

Describe the bug terminusdb-bootstrap does not execute successfully when invoked on win pro git cmd, cmd or wsl

For me, it exits with the errors depicted in the screenshots attached below.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

0. Install docker for windows
1. Clone terminusdb-bootstrap on Windows using Git Bash
2. Follow the steps in this repos README

Expected behavior TerminusDB-Server comes up and I can connect to its UI after browsing to localhost:port

Screenshots

A) Using Docker + Git CMD

B) After installing WSL2 and Debian I can call that directly from Git CMD

C) Invoking the script from the "wsl" command line leads to the same errors as invoking bash

System information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Version: Pro x64
  • How did you run terminus-bootstrap?
  • Using (a) git bash, using (b) windows cmd and (c) using a debian shell provided by wsl2.

Additional context Invoking only docker did fetch the terminusdb-server image. See

Running the docker container seems also to work fine using the docker windows gui. So, i am nearly there to getting the server running, or it is running, I guess but without env-variables so I can't connect to the services running inside, i guess.

Just wanted to report this. It is not urgent. I may try this again on a unix machine but I would appreciate any help to get it running on this one, too.

Thanks & I hope this helps.

Hey @mukil I see in your first screenshot that you're using Git CMD instead of Git Bash. Can you try it with Git Bash instead?

Thanks for your support on this issue. Indeed, that solved my issue. I assumed Git CMD is the Git Bash but it is obviously not... Thanks for your help! From my perspective we can close the issue, then.

Glad I could help! And thank you for reporting this issue in such great detail.
