As the title reads, I'm looking for a way to install Meteor.js without Chocolatey package manager. Any way I can do that? I should also mention that I'm running Windows.
There appears to be an installer available at https://install.meteor.com/windows. I was able to see this in the installation script:
if [ "$UNAME" ">" "MINGW" -a "$UNAME" "<" "MINGX" ] ; then
echo "To install Meteor on Windows, download the installer from:"
echo "https://install.meteor.com/windows"
exit 1
fi
There is a new native NPM-based method to install Meteor without Chocolatey. See the guide: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/npm-packages/meteor-installer/README.md
I noticed that Chocolatey requires the installation of .NET binaries. I think that there are a lot of developers who love to avoid .NET for a variety of reasons, and thus would avoid Chocolatey, too.
If you are using Windows 10, installing the Linux subsystem is a great solution. Then you can install meteor from a linux prompt with:
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
A set of instructions for installing the linux subsystem on Win 10 are here.
I updated maka-cli (www.maka-cli.com) to include an installer for windows 10 (also works on Linux and Mac):
npm install -g maka-cli
maka install meteor

I'm trying to install "Drake" (text-based data workflow tool) in a (WSL) Windows Subsystem for Linux and I try the steps in the book Data Science At The Command Line's Chapter 06 and the Drake's github repository I've followed all the steps without any problem, but when I try to install "Drip" github repository with this code
$ git clone https://github.com/flatland/drip.git
$ cd drip
$ make prefix=~/bin install
I had this :
I desperately tried a few things like adjusting the java's environment variables for my windows system and in my WSL Ubuntu too, without success
My Windows Build is :
And my WSL is:
My problem was to install "DRAKE" a Data workflow tool, after being searching for a solution I heard about Homebrew a solution made initially for installing tools on macOS and it's available now for linux even for WSL!
like in magic just type the tool to install and it's automatically done even if it's requires dependencies
brew install drake
So for nubies like me it's a welcome tool which can save you a lot of time.
The git-crypt instructions exist for Linux and MacOS, but for Windows these seem to be omitted. How to install Git-crypt on Windows?
There are other approaches, but I like msys2:
Install msys2:
http://www.msys2.org/
Open a msys2 terminal. Then ...
Install g++ for windows, following the instructions here:
https://github.com/orlp/dev-on-windows/wiki/Installing-GCC--&-MSYS2
Be sure /mingw64/bin is in your path. (e.g. which g++)
git clone git#github.com:AGWA/git-crypt
cd git-crypt
make LDFLAGS="-static-libstdc++ -static -lcrypto -lws2_32"
I would not trust the Repository git crypt for Windows that was mentioned.
I finally just managed to build git-crypt myself. And the Difference of the Size between this two Binaries is huge.
My self compiled Version is something around 370 kb compared to the 5.7 Mb from the One on GitHub.
Thanks for the Answer
Thumbs Up
with msys2 you can:-
pacman -S git-crypt
to install without needing to build it.
Check out git crypt for Windows. Consider whether you trust unsigned files from the internet (keep in mind git crypt itself is unsigned and you likely haven't reviewed the source)
For Windows 10 there is an alternative that should make things a bit easier using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). This will avoid the need to compile anything.
If you do not have WSL enabled see Microsoft docs guide. I would also recommend installing the latest LTS edition of Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store app (any edition of Ubuntu will do).
Install Git Crypt
Once you have a working copy of Ubuntu for WSL, open it and run the following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-crypt gnupg
Use Git Crypt
Now all that you need to do is access your Windows files from within Ubuntu by looking in /mnt/. Then you can use git-crypt as normal from within WSL.
I have downloaded git-crypt.exe from here and placed it in the C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git-crypt.exe ! This solved my issue !

I have build a website with Erlang and Cowboy with ErlyDTL on a Linux OS.
Now I want that my website can run on Windows and want to use the Erlang.mk with Relx build tool.
When I give the make command it gives me the error:
Unable to detect platform. Please open a ticket with the output of
uname -a.
uname -a output:
MINGW32_NT-6.2 LENOVO-... 2012-11-21 22:34 i686 Msys
How can I fix this problem in a easy way with explanation because I don't know much of makefiles ;).
Specs:
I have Windows 8.1 64 bit OS.
My Erlang.mk is version 1.2.0-634-g2f69190.
I installed MinGW with msys so I can run make and make distclean.
I have the following extra packages installed during this intallation:
mingw-developer-toolkit
mingw32-base
mingw32-gcc-g++
msys-base
So the PATH to MinGW is c:\MinGW.
With CMD I started C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat
Then with the bash shell I ran de postinstall script pi.sh. This gave me no errors.
Then I have installed some extra packages for MinGW with success:
mingw-get install msys-rxvt
mingw-get install msys-unzip
mingw-get install msys-zip
mingw-get install msys-wget
I have red https://github.com/ninenines/erlang.mk/issues/294 but I couldn't understand what I have to do because the lack of explanation.
So is there a solution? If yes what is it and please give some explanation with it so I can fix my problem and understand what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance
I'm using MSYS in windows 7 and now i need it to provide ssh server service. can openssh be installed in msys like it is in cygwin?
i can find ssh in /msys/bin, and it can be used as ssh client. but no server seems to be installed. how can i install one? i googled a lot but almost every theads leads to openssh in cygwin, that does not apply to my situation.
i compared cygwin and msys and decide to use msys. We need to run some applications both built and supposed to be ran in windows.
what i've tried:
mingw-get install mysys-openssh
test#WIN-L3L622JBT6G ~
$ mingw-get install msys-openssh
install: openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzm
installing openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.
install: openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-doc.tar.lzm
installing openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-doc.tar.
install: openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-lic.tar.lzm
installing openssh-5.4p1-1-msys-1.0.13-lic.tar.
test#WIN-L3L622JBT6G ~
$ openssh
sh: openssh: command not found
the package seems to be installed but i don't know how to find the service. do i need to link it or modify the profile?
The answer would be "NO".
Msys provide ssh client but not ssh server, as it's document indicates.
And Openssh cannot be installed on windows without cygwin. you can install a full cygwin and install openssh in cygwin. It's also feasible to only install partial cygwin.
Msys is outdated. Use Msys2, which does support sshd: https://www.booleanworld.com/get-unix-linux-environment-windows-msys2/
I am trying to get to grips with node.js, this looked like a fun tut http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/how-to-scrape-web-pages-with-node-js-and-jquery/ but I have only got the native windows version of node.js and I can't find a way to install any packages.
I have also looked at installing the binaries using chocalatey, but my version of vista doesn't have access to powershell. However, I do have a machine running windows 7 that I can switch to. If it isn't possible to install packages on windows version, I will switch to that machine and work through chocalatey.
Assuming you have the node.exe for Windows, npm has experimental support for windows. You can try working through the README.
Otherwise you can manually install packages on Windows. You will need to manually look at the package.json files for dependencies if you are going with option 2.
I have never tried it, but Scott Hanselman also has a post about getting node running on Windows.
Personally I have found its easier to just run a Linux VM since Windows support is kinda spotty right now.
The short answer is if you have git properly installed, you can open a cmd window, navigate to the directory containing node.exe, and run this:
git config --system http.sslcainfo /bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
git clone --recursive git://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
cd npm
node cli.js install npm -gf
The more complete answer is that I posted a guide on how to install Node on Windows here. It also describes installing npm to manage packages. Let me know if it works for you.
