I'd love if this was the case. However, how easy is it to install elastic search? apt-get-able?

You'd lose Windows support by doing that though. This is probably not your highest priority, but if it works on Windows now, why break it intentionally?

Hm... NodeBB already isn't very installable on windows -- I believe bcrypt can't compile (unless the necessary compile files are installed?)?

I'm sure elasticsearch is available on Windows, no?

Not sure about elasticsearch but after a bit of tinkering everything works fine on Windows for me. I believe the only thing I had to install besides node was OpenSSL, and mongodb ofcourse.

You'll also need some visual studio install too, if you dont have one already. Finding the correct version can be a pain.

And this, but I already had VS installed so I didn't notice

[julian]

As a linux user... what is visual studio

@julian

Yes, as a Linux-only guy, I've never heard of visual studio. Is that a studio you can visualize?

Visual Studio is the main application of which windows applications are made e.g. c#, c++, c blah blah blah xD

[julian]

Haha yeah, we were only joking

Actually supposedly you can also develop node in VS!
