Windows Installation

WINDOWS SUPPORT IS EXPERIMENTAL !!!

I've done my best to support Windows, in most part of EspBuddy, but I've not fully tested it. If you want to get a painless Espbuddy usage, please use either OSX (fully tested) or Linux (mostly tested).

DISCLAIMER

This information is based on what I could remember to run EspBuddy on Windows. These are only notes, for myself and for your convenience.

  • PLEASE Don't except any Windows support from me!

  • Do your own tests, and please enhance this documentation and/or push PR to fixes any Windows issues.

  • All tests have been performed on a Windows 10, 64bits OS

  • Expand the zip file into the path C:\php7

  • Configure PHP to run correctly on your system:

    • In the C:\php7 folder, rename the file php.ini-development to php.ini.

    • Edit the php.ini file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad++, Atom, or Sublime Text). Change the following settings in the file and save the file:

      • Uncomment the line that reads ;extension_dir = "ext" (remove the ; so the line is just extension_dir = "ext").

      • In the section where there are a bunch of extension= lines, uncomment the following lines:

        extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll

  • Add C:\php7 to your Windows system PATH:

    • Open the Windows Setting / System Control Panel.
    • Search for 'Advanced System Settings'.
    • Click the 'Environment Variables' button.
    • Find the Path row under 'System variables', and click 'Edit'
    • Click 'New' and add the row C:\php7.
    • Click OK, then OK, then OK, and close out of the Windows Setting / System Control Panel .

  • Launch a console to ensure that php is working, typing: php -v

  • (TODO) Add EspBuddy in your PATH
