A 1 minute introduction on how to use the Windows command prompt: 1. Click Start. 2. On XP, click Run, type "cmd", and press OK. On Vista and above, type "cmd" in the Search box and click it when it comes up. 3. Start typing commands. http://ss64.com/nt/ gives a good overview of available commands. If you have more specific questions on how to use the command prompt, you can ask here or on http://superuser.com. On Windows, your prompt will look something like c:\src\mypylonsapp> or (pyenv) c:\src\mypylonsapp> "c:\src\mypylonsapp" is your current directory. ">" shows that the system is waiting for a command. "(pyenv)" is the name of your activated Python virtual environment (as discussed in chapter 2 of the Pylons book). (On Linux, the command prompt instead looks something like $ So, whenever you see a command that starts out "$ " or "> ", you need to realize that the "$ " or "> " is the prompt provided by the system, and you're only supposed to type what's after that.) http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/1.0/gettingstarted/ is the closest thing I know of to an installation tutorial for absolute noobs. If you have specific questions after reading that, feel free to post them. -- Josh Kelley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
