Thanks, Todd, I’ll take a look. This is very timely since I have a captive
audience (most likely all Windows ppl) at our local library next Saturday
and will be mentioning Raku and Perl.

P.S. The doc did make it with your previous email.

Hi Tom,

I finally got around to writing your request up.  I will
let you look it over, modify as needed, and place in
the proper location.

Note that I use the term "Perl 6 / Raku".  This is on
purpose, as older installations that need to be removed
may be called Perl 6 and not raku.

The guide is in Open Document Text format (odt).  Note
that the page length has been set to 35 inches, which
will make for an interesting print out.

Sorry for the long wait.

The attachment was bounced by the mailing list.  I am
re-sending without the attachment so the list can see
my write up.  Anyone who wants document, ping me on
the list or write me directly.

Not completely yet.

I don't mind if someone else takes my stuff
and formalized it somewhere else.  I am
not after fame (or infamy?).

Do you know how to write in Markdown or Raku POD?

Did you ever get your Github account?

IMHO, you (emphasis on YOU) should try to write a good draft we can comment
on, that means it would be best done on your own github account. Then you
can use the web interface and edit from any browser. Plus it's easy for
other users to peruse and comment on.

You have a reputation as the primo Raku Windows user (and Windows
professional expert), so you should run your draft up the old github flag
pole and we onlookers can suggest fine tuning edits.  ;-D

P.S. And JJ can peek in once in awhile if he wants to.

Would you be a little more specific.  Are you looking for
an install guide?  Or something else?


Todd, did you look at the issue in the corrected link submitted by
@yary? That pretty much describes (in order of most to least
importance) the main things I would like to see in the
tutorial/checklist.

If not, please look at:  .




obtaining the Windows MSI file

installing the MSI file

how to show "Hello, Word!" at the CLI

selecting and using a suitable free or inexpensive
begnning editor to use for simple programming in Raku


I should be able to help with a few of those.  Do I post
it back to the issue and have JJ formalize it?
