Support Windows install about hybrid HOT 21 CLOSED

Heads up: Successfully managed to install and run under Windows 10 (with the Creators update¹) Subsystem for Linux² following the default Linux instructions.

The only real issue faced was that running apt-get install nodejs got me some ancient version like 0.10 or whatever. Had to remove it, add this custom repository: https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x as explained in this tutorial (https://aigeec.com/installing-node-js-on-windows-10-bash/) and then reinstall in order to get it all going.

Altough a funny mishap that happened was when i first ran 'yarn', i got a system message that that application was not installed, and a suggestion to add it via 'apt-get install yarn'. Which i ran, but got me a different tool. If by any chance you get the "There are no scenarios; must have at least one." error when running yarn, it means you have the wrong one. Remove this wrong, system-level yarn with apt-get then get the correct one via npm.

¹ The latest creators update is required because previous builds of Windows 10 lack a network interface implementation inside the WSL environment that is required to launch the LiveReload server [amongst other things most likely].

Found issue installing npm libraries on Windows (>v1.4.0) (executing npm install manually). I'm not sure if this is an error related to windows or maybe dependencies/configs

from hybrid.

Make sure you use the latest version 1.4.2.

If you still have issue installing, I am sorry but Windows support is not planned yet. If you are interested to debug and share your discoveries with us I'd be happy to merge whatever can help Windows users.

Cheers

Hey Julien, i found this article related to windows and node-gyp:

https://www.robertkehoe.com/2015/03/fix-node-gyp-rebuild-error-on-windows/

For Windows 7 users, Visual Studio, Windows SDK 7.1, Visual C++ compiler and Python 2.7.3 are required.

After the installation of these components, "npm install" command worked fine.

@SilentKernel had the app running on Windows lately. Can you explain how you did that please ?

from hybrid.

@mbaljeetsingh is also interested

On Windows you must install Python before trying to run WPHC.
On my computer there is also Microsoft Visual Studio installed (installer of Visual Studion installed Cordova (advanced install).

Then the biggest problem is that WPHC uses Unix command (rm for example) and .sh file, you juste have to edit package.json to switch Unix command (like rm) with Windows alternative (del). also install.sh can be easly understood and can be rewritten with batch (copy instead of cp for example :))

But on Windows there is also the possibility to use Unix Command Line, Git installer on windows allow you to add Unix Like binary on your PATH environement then you will be able to use rm or even cp

Then release.sh can't work ATM on windows, but you can easly make your own (if your android SDK and NDK is in your path it will easer !)

Has anyone tried partitioning part of a Windows drive to run Mac OS X?

from hybrid.

@jinsley8 you can have a dual boot with Ubuntu easily from Windows. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

from hybrid.

Guys you also can install VirtualBox and Ubuntu Virtual Machine instead.

@shprink @SilentKernel After installation i am getting this error,
Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-hybrid-client\www\index.html'

I have android sdk and ndk in the path (correctly). But how can i rewrite release.sh file for windows.

from hybrid.

hi, the best solution for this is
to create partition on your hard drive and install linux os,
and the proceed for further.. this is the only way..

Use vagrant

from hybrid.

Hi @iffifan
Any good vagrant boxes recommendations to use?
I already tried using vagrant with no success.

from hybrid.

If you guys use docker I made an image https://github.com/shprink/wphc-dockerbox

from hybrid.

One fast solution, in windows have problems caching images, if you comment this line, it works, but it's not a defenitive solution.
