## Installation Under Windows
|
|
|
|
ENiGMA½ will run on both 32bit and 64bit Windows. If you want to run 16bit doors natively then you should use a 32bit Windows.
|
|
|
|
### Basic Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Download and Install [Node.JS](https://nodejs.org/).
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade NPM : At this time node comes with NPM 5.6 preinstalled. To upgrade to a newer version now or in the future on windows follow this method. `*Run PowerShell as Administrator`
|
|
|
|
`*Initial Install`
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
|
|
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
`*Upgrade`
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
npm-windows-upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: Do not run `npm i -g npm`. Instead use `npm-windows-upgrade` to update npm going forward.
|
|
Also if you run the NodeJS installer, it will replace the node version.
|
|
|
|
2. Install [windows-build-tools for npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools)
|
|
`*This will also install python 2.7`
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Install [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/download.html).
|
|
|
|
*Add 7zip to your path so `7z` can be called from the console
|
|
1. Right click `This PC` and Select `Properties`
|
|
2. Go to the `Advanced` Tab and click on `Environment Variables`
|
|
3. Select `Path` under `System Variables` and click `Edit`
|
|
4. Click `New` and paste the path to 7zip
|
|
5. Close your console window and reopen. You can type `7z` to make sure it's working.
|
|
|
|
(Please see [Archivers](/docs/archivers.md) for additional archive utilities!)
|
|
|
|
3. Install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and optionally [TortoiseGit](https://tortoisegit.org/download/).
|
|
|
|
4. Clone ENiGMA½ - browse to the directory you want and run
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
git clone "https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs.git"
|
|
```
|
|
Optionally use the TortoiseGit by right clicking the directory and selecting `Git Clone`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Install ENiGMA½.
|
|
1. In the enigma directory run
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
2. Generate your initial configuration: `Follow the prompts!`
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
node .\oputil.js config new
|
|
```
|
|
3. Edit your configuration files in `enigma-bbs\config` with [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/) or [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download)
|
|
4. Run ENiGMA½
|
|
```Powershell
|
|
node .\main.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Look at [Production Installation](/installation/production) for maintaining ENiGMA½ when you are ready to go live.
