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

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?
