  • choose check as windows CR/LF and commit as UNIX CR. Installation done!
  • active git bash from start menu. This is a mingw command prompt, which emulates standard unix operations.

  • nodejs supports Windows officially. Just download it at http://nodejs.org and run the installer.
  • from Nodejs.x86 startmenu, click nodejs command prompt

* You can use `npm` like it works in Linux/OSX.  Install swixweb pre-required global modules by the following commands

    npm install coffeecup -g

* Please check above packages by the following commands

   coffee -v
   coffeecup -v
