How to install CouchDB on Windows - windows

This might seem like a basic question, but let me explain.
I'm currently trying to get CouchDB running on Windows. Usually (from what I can tell watching several YT tutorials) you just go to couchdb.apache.org/download and download the windowsx64 version. Then open it and a install wizard should appear.
However when I download the file I get a file named "fd15d91c1e214c3451bef296564086f6a9266e848d57eaa8ac596e3765939578" which isn't openable and doesn't give me a wizard.
Is the current CouchDB installation corrupted? Am I doing something wrong?

I just tried http://couchdb.apache.org/, chose the Download link from the top navigation bar, then Windows(x64) for version 2.1.0. This kicked-off downloading the file apache-couchdb-2.1.0.msi.
Definitely try another browser or restart your machine.

Is mySQL-Connector-C is not available for download

In the past the source code of the mySQL-Connector-C was available to download so people can build it locally.
It looks like this is not the case anymore.
So, how do I get the Debug version of the connector on my Windows box and OSX?
TIA!!

Pivot4J not showing int Pentaho Business Analytics - Community Edition

I am taking a course on Coursera and we have been asked to use the community version of Pentaho Business Analytics (PBA).
I have download the latest PBA server and plugin for Pivot4J, however, when I launch the web interface and click on new, I do not see the Create Pivot4J View as shown in most demos.
I have launched the interface on 2 systems with Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 10 Pro OS running on them.
Can someone help me out please as the deadline for me to turn in my work is in 3 days?
Thank you.
Please see screenshot below of what I have tried to explain above.
http://localhost:8080 Home Page
Try with 0.9 version from pivot4j site and maybe Pentaho 6 version is note yet supported so try 5.4 ba server.
You should download and unzip Pivot4J plugin into: ./pentaho-solutions/system folder in the BIserver, follow:
this link
or if this still does not show the pivot4j option you can install it through the Marketplace, there you can install/unistall pluggins, including pivot4j.
After you install or update stop and start the server and it will work.
When you unzip the file pivot4j-pentaho-0.9-plugin.zip it will create a folder called pivot4j. Don't move the contents in the folder move the entire folder to:
C:\program files\pentaho\biserver-ce\pentaho-solutions\system\pivot4j\
This is will work if you are not seeing the plugin in the drop down in Pentaho.
Granted everything else was done correctly.

Build or Compile Webkit on Windows7 64bit

I'm trying to just build webkit on windows. As usual I started with webkit site and trying to get developer tools setup. I'm struck basically at the cygwin Installation itself.
The cygwin-downloader gets all the packages and runs the setup normally.
As per the installation instructions, I selected the Install from Local Directory Option (cygwin install and source package directories are different).
There was some initial turbulance in finding the packages, somehow i could let it find the packages. The screen looks like this now.
I selected the packages (all) and then proceeded with next. It just ran very fast and exited saying nothing needs to be installed. It looked like this.
After I ran the cygwin shorcut from the desktop its shouting something is missing.
I don't understand what am I missing here. Also at some link it says we need a port to build webkit. If thats the case, how does anyone port webkit to their applications without building the webkit alone?
I know this is not a programming question. but this will help most of the people who are taking baby steps in understanding and build WebKit. Thanks!
According to this, it's seems a cygwin-downloader's bug.
However, there is a workaround...
Just copy {cygwin-downloader}\setup.ini file to a {cygwin-downloader}\x86\ directory. Then reopen setup.exe. It will show you a package list without turbulence. You don't need to click all from the package list. Just click Next.

Red5 demos don't work

I just installed red5 on my server, and the install seems to work fine. As you can see here: http://onelifemedia.com:5080
I got this far by using this walkthrough: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1046590
The /demos page gives me a 404 error. So I logged onto the server, and checked to see if the "demo" directory was already there. It was not.
The applications that I installed were a directory up from the root directory. I'm not sure if this is right or not.
Either way, my end goal is to actually get something working besides the main page. If I can get the demos to work, then hopefully I should be well on my way.
I guess my questions can be broken down like this:
Does anyone know how to get the demos working?
Should I forget about the demos, and try to start writing my own code?
If I should write my own code, how should I go about installing it? Since the installer is not properly installing the demos.
Thanks
The tutorial is good but you dont need the admin app. Use the installer link in the tutorial and install the demo you want to use. The content of the "demos" directory is only the swf files used to access the server demos which you use the installer app to install. For instance , select "oflaDemo" and then from the main page navigate to demos/oflaDemo et voila.
I know I'm biased being a core developer, but we've attempted to make the server as ez as possible to use.
I could install demos from the latest svn trunk, Checkout the source, use ant&ivy to build and run the server and you can install two sample apps(oflaDemo and SOSample).
You may need to use ivy commands resolve some of the common issues during installations.
E:\dev\red5\java\server\trunk>ant ivyclear dist
()Red5 user mailing list may help you, because this is not exactly problem with Red5 source.

I could resolve the issue based on the information in Red5 users mailing list and comments by Mr.Mondain in one of the posts in Stackoverflow

Attempting to install Magento Mage_GoogleShopping extension

But all I get from my Connect Manager is the following message:
community/Mage_GoogleShopping: Version for 'Mage_GoogleShopping' was not detected
If I try and use the version 1 extension key all I get is:
Couldn't resolve host 'magento-core'
I am using a mostly fresh install of Magento Community 1.5.0.1 (I say mostly because we do have our own template but it is very basic).
Anyone have any luck installing this extension. GoogleShopping is a huge boon to our hit count and the recent changes to the google products API has really affected our implementation.
this extension is still in alpha stability, you need to change your preference settings ("settings" tab in your magento connect manager) for "preferred state"
OSdave had the right answer ... but the way I fixed the error message was I blew away the download folder on the server and re-copied over from the original Magento install package.
Once I had done that I re-ran the Extension Key in Connect and this time it actually said. "That Extension is in Alpha stage. You'll need to change your preferences to install it."
I did NOT get the error above anymore. At that point everything worked like a charm.
