I’m pretty certain that the installer is fried (https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer/issues/61).
When we taught in January, we used instructions that I poached from elsewhere (sorry I forget who!). You can see the adapted instructions we used to get a text editor installed for window’s users here: https://umswc.github.io/2017-01-17-UMich/ You can use your favorite text editor. If you do not have one, we recommend Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Be aware that you must add its installation directory to your system path. To add Notepad++ to the path: 1) Open Git-Bash from the start menu. 2) Type: cd [enter] to make sure you are in your home directory. 3) Type: notepad .bashrc [enter]. This will create .bashrc file in Notepad. Add the following text to the file: export PATH=$PATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++" alias npp=notepad++ 4) Save the file and exit Notepad. 5) Open a new Git-Bash window. You should now be able to launch Notepad++ by typing: npp [enter]. If you run into trouble please ask your instructor to help you with this. This worked very well for our workshop… Pat > On Mar 6, 2017, at 12:51 PM, Ted Hart <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think you need to use the SWC windows installer > (https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer/releases/download/v0.3/SWCarpentryInstaller.exe > > <https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer/releases/download/v0.3/SWCarpentryInstaller.exe>) > That will give you nano and sqlite3 for windows.
