Now to get ws.js on Windows

[Ket]

Hello,

I've installed Node.js and WebSocket server on Windows 7 through npm route, and I can't get ws.js with this method.

How can I get this file. I tried the following command but it's not working:

npm install ws.js

I desperately need this file to get the advantage that linux computer has, because I cannot afford another computer and run it with linux to test my program.

Thanks

Run Linux in a VM? Anyway, what error message do you get when you try
to install it?

installs fine on a win7starter netbook :-)

try ``npm install ws.js`` several times in a row, sometimes this
helps, especially for huge packages.

and don't forget to post the error log.

I just tried it (`npm install ws.js`) on XP and I get: "npm ERR! git
clone git://github.com/yaronn/xmldom.git CreateProcessW: The system
cannot find the file specified" even though git is in the PATH and is
accessible from cmd.exe.

Still trying and cannot get it worked. Can I just download some web-socket-sever suit from github and replace npm server folder in my computer. That's the last resort I can Think of.

Please post the errors npm writes to the console.

`ws.js` package !== `ws` package in npm.

Additionally, I can confirm the `ws` package (the C++ addon version)
does not compile on Windows: https://gist.github.com/4e73ef4109c96f0c4439

The ws package now compiles on Windows correctly as of ws 0.4.16.

I am the author of ws.js. Try again now with the normal install.

I have changed the reference to xmldom from a git link to an npm package.

There must be some proxy issue behind the firewall to get "git clone" to work on windows (found a few links on that but none really worked for me).

Thanks. It works.
