Can't run on windows 8.1

[doodledood]

When I try to run 'npm run dev' I get the following error:
'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[iam4x]

It seems to be windows specific https://github.com/visionmedia/debug#windows-note

For now as workaround you can change your package.json at script key, the dev one, and remove DEBUG=.... at the beginning.

I'll will install a windows VM tomorrow (1am here), can you link me some tools how to have a CLI / NPM and git on windows to debug this issue?

Thank's!

Sure, first of all download and install:

• http://git-scm.com/download/win
• https://iojs.org/dist/latest/iojs-v1.7.1-x64.msi

Npm should come with the latest release of node.
From there open "cmd.exe" and proceed normally.

Thanks for your efforts.

By the way,
'npm install' also fails when trying to build webpack-dev-server.
There is a some issue with it on windows.
This solves it

I tried removing 'DEV' from package.json but I still can't get rid of
'Error: libsass bindings not found. Try reinstalling node-sass?'
even tough I followed the advice outlined in README.md

[iam4x]

For node-sass I had to do:

• Install python27, add python to your env path (http://stackoverflow.com/a/6318188)
• Install VS Express 2013 for building with node-gyp
• $ npm cache clear
• $ npm install node-sass

And then $ npm run build worked.

Did you manage to run everything on windows?

[iam4x]

There's an issue with koa-proxy for loading assets on dev I need to check that.

But NODE_ENV=production node server/index.js after npm run build is working correctly

[iam4x]

Everything is good after removing a rule of jscs about the end line and removing DEBUG=dev,koa at the beginning of the command line for launching the npm run dev

I will change validation of end line with https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#re-normalizing-a-repository

Just noticed it's windows 7, I don't know if it changes a lot for iojs to run on windows 8

[doodledood]

Okay, I checked out the branch and weird stuff are happening:

• With iojs (v0.17.1) I still get 'libsass bindings not found. Try reinstalling node-sass?', no matter what I try.
• With node (v0.12.2) I get 'SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL' - which I suspect has something to do with jscs and babel...

[iam4x]

Can you npm install node-sass? Without errors?

And no it won't work with 0.12

[doodledood]

Yes I can.
But the problem is that 'npm run build' returns some errors of 'Module didn't self register' for node-sass anyways and babel-core.
I have tried to clone the repo to another folder, removing node and iojs completely and reinstalling iojs, removing npm cache and installing updated dependecies but non seem to work ><

[iam4x]

Okey let me download windows 8!

[doodledood]

@iam4x let me know if it works as if it does, it might be that my system is polluted somehow...

[iam4x]

No luck with windows 8.1 :( Same issue... You should report issue into babel and node-sass.
