Hello NuPIC,

I have been very happy to see so many Windows developers trying to get
NuPIC running on their systems. Thanks for giving us a shot! As you've
probably noticed, it is a bit hit and miss with the installations. So
I wanted to clarify something...

NuPIC is not officially supported on Windows yet!

This means simply typing "pip install nupic" on Windows may or may not
work. It is not something we are actively testing in CI or elsewhere.
(We do have nupic.core building in Windows CI, however [1].)

Yes, we are working on it (slowly), but having a "pip install nupic"
Windows experience is not a high priority for Numenta at this time.
Our focus is creating a cross-platform application that bundles NuPIC
in Electron [2], so all our work for Windows  is supporting that
effort, not the "pip install nupic" path.

That being said, there are many community members running NuPIC on
Windows who've been very helpful on the mailing lists. Thank you very
much! If you want to help to iron out the Windows installation issues,
we welcome your feedback, issue reports [3], and pull requests
(following our development process [4], of course).
