Has somebody ever installed Lucida on windows 7?

I don't think it is easy to install Lucida on Windows. You should try to install in a Docker enviromment or in a virtual machine.

[Jeremy Russell]

Part of the difficulty with that is most of the core software frameworks that Lucida uses were originally created for the Linux platform. To get around this relatively easily you can use a virtual machine setup. Docker or it's kin, VMWare, Virtual Box and the like.

To get something that runs natively on a Windows OS platform, much of the Lucida code will need to be rewritten to work with open source packages which work on windows already, or conversely rewrite a Linux only framework to work on Windows.

Hopefully this sheds some light on the difficulty of this problem.
