Verify that the Windows installation instructions work with Windows 10 #348
Comments
I ran the steps on my Win 10 Enterprise x64. Everything worked and I did not have to do anything differently. Choco installed, Java JDK installed, Environment variables were present, Gradle installed. I was able to run some test cases. Everything seemed fine. |
Woohoo! 🎉 Thank you for doing this, Radoslav! This is a big help in ensuring that our thin-thread path (designed to get practitioners into writing code as fast as possible) is legit. Ensuring that there are not little bumps or swerves in the path is basically ensuring there's a nice welcoming red carpet. Thank you! |
Is there a way to automate these installation steps so that we can monitor if this breaks, rather than relying on student reports? |
ooooooh! I love that, @kotp.... the tricky part would be getting an administrative shell on a CI windows box. Definitely worth looking into! |
The original request of this issue was addressed with @superklamer's work (thanks again!). Closing. |
The instructions for installing Chocolatey were written against Windows 8.
There have been calls to point practitioners to the Chocolatey site to install that package manager (#295), but those instructions lack the conciseness needed to someone who just wants to get started with Exercism.
On either a physical machine or in a Virtual Machine, please walk through the installation instructions on Windows 10. If there is any difference between what's described in the instructions, either note them here or open a pull request with the needed changes.
