Problems of installing Bob on windows 7

[Luwei Yang]

Hi,

I am using windows 7, and trying to install Bob. 

I followed the instructions:

$ python bootstrap-buildout.py
$ ./bin/buildout

When I run $ python bootstrap-buildout.py , I have following errors:

python: can't open file 'bootstra': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

ez_setup.py is deprecated and when using it setuptools will be pinned to 33.1.1

since it's the last version that supports setuptools self upgrade/installation,

check https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/581 for more info; use pip to in

stall setuptools

Downloading https://pypi.io/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-33.1.1.zip

Extracting in C:\Users\Y00412~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpeiq9ah_q

Now working in C:\Users\Y00412~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpeiq9ah_q\setuptools-33.1.

Could you figure what's going on here? 

Is there any other quick installation for windows 7?

Best,

We currently don't support Windows installs. Only Mac OS X or Linux. We advise you to try out a Virtual Machine.
