Running Github Hubot on a Windows machine

IMG_0063I finally managed to get Github Hubot running on my Windows 7 64 bits machine. Thanks to  Sean Copenhaver & Thomas Kahlow which pointed me to the correct direction on the ‘Run hubot on windows’ discussion.

So here is how I did it.

First of all download and install nodejs 0.6.15. This will also install npm 1.1.16 which is the node package manager.

Then start Powershell and create a new folder e.g. HubotWorking

mkdir HubotWorking

cd .\HubotWorking

npm install hubot

You should see the following output

npminstallhubot

Go on with the following

cd .\node_modules\hubot

node .\node_modules\coffee-script\bin\coffee .\bin\hubot

And the magic!

You might want also to run it through JetBrains WebStorm 4.0, so here is the configuration you will need

webstorm hubot

And here is the result in the WebStorm nodejs runner

Hi there!

the installation goes fine.. but when I go and do this:

"cd .\node_modules\hubot"

I get an error:

Set-Location : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\Xander\Hubot\node_modules\hubot' because it does not exist.

Do you know why this happens?
