Hi David,
New to TW5, node.js, github etc. I tried to follow your walkthrough (Windows 7 32-bit) After installing github I wondered if I had to sign up; I didn't. Entering bld.sh in the node.js command prompt did not build anything; the command was not recognized. Error: Windows can't open this file ... What do you want to do: * Use the web service to find the correct program * Select a program from a list of installed programs Rebooting the PC did not help. I am stuck and hope you can help.
