Windows

ENiGMA½ will run on both 32bit and 64 bit Windows. If you want to run 16bit doors naively then you should use a 32 bit Windows.

Basic Instructions

  1. Download and Install Node.JS.

    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

      Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade

      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 'npm install --global --production windows-build-tools' *This will also install python 2.7

  2. Install 7zip. *Add 7zip to your path so 7z can be called from the console

  3. Install Git and optionally TortoiseGit.

  4. Clone Enigma - browse to the directory you want and run "git clone https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs.git" Optionally use the tortoisegit gui by right clicking the directory and run git clone in the menu

  5. Install ENiGMA½.

    1. In the enigma directory run 'npm install'
    2. Generate your initial configuration: 'node .\oputil.js config new' Follow the prompts!
    3. Edit any configuration files
    4. Run ENiGMA½ 'node .\main.js'

  6. Profit!
