Unsolved nodeBB setup {windows}

[jheisen]

Hello community,

I'm currently in the process of hosting the nodeBB forum for personal use however I yet to get it up and working. I followed the documentation correctly however when installing said dependences within the gitshell and cloning, it doesn't seem to work. Any help of any kind would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

jheisen

@jheisen We can try to help if you give more details of the issue like any error messages instead of "it doesn't seem to work"

[jheisen]

@pichalite Indeed, I'm sorry for not being more direct.

From following these docs: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/windows8.html

npm install
node app.js --setup
node app.js

^ Don't seem to work, before you ask Yes I've installed all the dependent software...

Kind Regards,

Jack

Additionally here:

I'm assuming I'm doing this completely wrong

@jheisen try installing Node6 instead of the old version in the docs. Then try using cmd instead of PowerShell.
