Develop RapidFTR on Windows

TESTED ON WINDOWS XP SP3

• Install the following software. Refer to the software requirements in Installing On Windows for the latest download links.

  • RailsInstaller
  • CouchDB
  • ImageMagick
  • Java Development Kit
  • Google Chrome or Firefox (we don't support Internet Explorer yet)

• Optional Make sure that third-party gem documentations are not installed, since they take a long time. Some of the "echo" commands may fail, but don't worry, its enough if one of these commands succeeds, and anyways this is an optional step that reduces your download time and doesn't affect the installer:

echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\gemrc"
echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\gemrc"
echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "C:\gemrc"
echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "C:\Program Files\gemrc"
echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "C:\ProgramData\gemrc"
