I am behind a firewall on MS Windows and setting the proxy in my init file did not work. I can download the zip archive from GitHub, but when the package has many .el files the install-from-file does not work. I tried saving the folder as .tar but it still did not work.
How can I install the downloaded folder? There is a Makefile in the folder, but I have no make or its alternatives on Windows and will not be allowed to install them.
Prior to the migration to GitHub I was able to download a single file from Melpa and that worked fine.
a workaround is to add the package folder to your load-path and then require the package.
This will not take care of any dependencies, so watch in *Warnings* and *Messages* buffers for any problems caused by unmet dependencies.
See the details here.

I'm using a library management program called Composer on my device. I used it to install a library which it placed in a folder called vendor. My web application works fine locally. However, it gives me a bunch of php include errors even though I uploaded in the same folder hierarchy. I suspect this is because of the composer.json file which signals the required libraries, but I'm not entirely sure.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
This happened to me awhile ago, to fix this. Here is what i've done:
I removed my vendor folder on my working directory on the web host
thru ssh, i've installed composer, and then re-run composer install on my working directory.
after that everything worked
I am trying to install mingw-w64 onto Windows. However I receive an error, "the file has been downloaded incorrectly". Redownloading the setup file again from sourceforge does not fix the problem. Is there an alternative way to install it or am I doing something wrong?
Old post but same problem, the installer doesn't seem to work.
I give the solution which works for me
You can directly download the archive of MinGW64 with your chosen configuration :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/
Once the compressed file downloaded, you have just to extract and copy/paste the MinGW64 folder( with the pre-compiled librairies) to your chosen folder ( in my case : C:\mingw64)
I got same error and solved it, after struggling a few hours. You should download MinGW64 via https://winlibs.com/#download-release.
After downloading, You should unzip mingw64 file to a folder(in my case I unzipped it to c disk; C:\mingw64)
And then you have to set up path. for that follow below steps;
open settings.
Search for Edit environment variables for your
account.
choose path variable and then select edit.
Select New and add the Mingw-w64 folder path(bin folder). In my case, I added (C:\mingw64\bin).
Select OK to save the updated path.
And reopen your cmd, then check if everything is good by typing; gcc --version
Long story short, the official installer is broken and not been fixed for years, so we have to install it manually.
The official download link above would bring you to sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win32/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe
And in the same folder that contains the installer, there's a repository.txt. (about this file)
Take a look at it, the installer basically just download and unzip the build from one of these urls within repository.txt. Choose the url you want and download/upzip it manually. (In my case, I use 8.1.0|x86_64|posix|seh|rev0 setup)
Last, setup the Path environment variable pointing to your unzipped bin folder, let say C:\mingw64\bin, and this should do the trick.
Finally, I solved this problem by downloading this:http://winlibs.com/
GCC 10.1.0 + LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB 10.0.0 + MinGW-w64 7.0.0 - release 3 (LATEST)
Win32: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive
Win64: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive
and set the %path%
After that, I still can't execute gcc correctly, but then I solved the problem by adding this environment variable:
"CGO_ENABLED=1"
I encountered the problem when using this golang package: https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
I received the same error. When I re-ran the installer as an adminstrator it was installed successfully.
I also made sure not to add any spaces to the installation path.
Following this tutorial helped me manually install MinGW for windows : youtube
So the problem for me was that when I tried to use the .exe installer, it either showed me that,
"the file has been downloaded incorrectly" , or , the /.../bin folder did not have any files in it.
In the link above, the MinGW files (including the /bin files) were manually downloaded and identified properly by the Environment Variables.
The problem is with your internet connection and/or ISP. I'm not great at networking so I'll let others be more specific. I tried installing/downloading it using my mobile's data as wifi hotspot and it worked. Hope it helps
I downloaded from addons repository a Firefox extension (url shortener), unzipped it and reworked a little bit to use another shortener service - i changed already only a url of shortening service and some names in meta - nothing of vital importance. If i try just to zip all directories and files as they are and try to install - installation fails with an alert
"This addon can't be installed - it could be corrupted"
I guess there are any troubles with zipping of it. I'm even sure, that there is a zipping problem, cause i tried to unzip the original extension, than to zip it without code changes and to install - same error alert.
Also the question is, how to create an installable XPI for the bootstrapped extension (it is:
without .jar-file,
with another directory structure,
installation
withour restart).
The structure of bootstrapped extension (which i have here) is:
/defaults
/locale
/resources
harness-options.json
locales.json
bootstrap.js
install.rdf
options.xul
I use 7-zip, but it is no problem to use any another archiving software.
Thank you for any advice!

Got it done! Like it describes this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/18992738/1992004 i zipped a whole folder, what led in error cause of a folder creation inside of archive. After i zipped only included subfolders, i got an installable xpi.
I need a terminal that will support svn on windows and I found that MobaXterm is one of them. However going to their plugin installation page which says:
To install these plugins, just download them and put them in the same directory than the MobaXterm executable.
So I downloaded it and put it in the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mobatek\MobaXterm Personal Edition however I still get the error message
Sorry: Svn is not included in this version of MobaXterm.
You can check online if you find a Svn plugin for MobaXterm
by ctrl+clicking here: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net .
If you need a custom version of MobaXterm that includes Svn,
do not hesitate to ask us for a quotation: mailto:contact#mobatek.net .
Does anyone have experience with this software or recommended a terminal that can support svn in windows?
You need to go into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Mobatek\MobaXterm Personal Edition or whichever edition you have and place the plugin there. Restart MobaXterm and it should work.
I normally collect all the plugins which I require from http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/plugins.html
Once the .mxt3 files are getting downloaded, I moved them to the installed folder where the MobaXterm_.exe is there.
After restarting MobaXterm, this will work like a champ.
Hope if this solves your issue faster.
Start MobaXterm terminal.
Type MobApt or apt-get. This will open MobApt package manager.
Once in the package manager, you have a variety of tools/commands that you can install by simply selecting and pressing Install/Update.
i know the question is old. but you should put the plugin into your home.
if you check the setting you see this is the home directory
%CurrentDrive%:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\MobaXterm\home
witch is :
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\MobaXterm\home -- or whatever drive that u installed windows
i just installed the python plugin and it works fine
In Mobaxterm simply type : apt-get install subversion
Usable just right after installation. No need to restart.
Same for git.
Change the name of the .mxt3 file (that you downloaded) to .zip
Extract the files, get the .exe files you want from the bin folder
from the files you just extracted, and add them to the slash/bin
folder of the Mobaxterm (where there are more .exe files)
Restart
In order to finish your plugin installation, you need to restart MobaXterm. After restarting, type "svn" in the terminal and it should work.
Try run the command:
#unalias svn
When I saw $PATH and looked into its directories, there was no git.exe.
I downloaded git.mxt3 and put in program files (86) folder and restarted mobaterm.
After restart I can see a file named git.exe in my /bin folder. I am using Win7 (64 bit) and mobaXterm personal Edition v7.1 installed using windows installer (not portable )
MobaXterm already has a 'Packages' button where you can search for plugins and download them. You don't need to go to github and other places to find the necessary files. Just using the built-in search feature under the 'Packages' option at the top of MobaXterm.
I downloaded file:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/glade-3.4.3-win32-1.zip
and when I extract it an run glade-3.exe from /bin folder, I get "no libxml2.dll" error.
Now, I want to find installer (like GTK+ bundle for GTK+) that would install glade3 and all it's dependencies for Windows XP.
Well glade3 worked for me after I downloaded:
iconv.dll
libxml2.dll
and put it in path
This is not the answer, but it can help run it.
Another thing. I previously installed GTK+ bundle, so if you didn't do that, you may need more dll's etc...
Just for the record, the newer version available at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/ is an installer that already includes libxml.
