Hello,
I am trying to install Gekko on Windows 7. Off of the bat i noticed the code shown below wasnt pointing correctly to what I downloaded. I had to path to "gekko-develop" in the file path.

Code:
cd Downloads

cd gekko-stable

cd gekko-stable

Once I use that path I am able to install, then I am able to run

Code:
npm install --only=production

After the above step when I try to install "Gekko Broker's dependencies" I get the error listed below.

Strange, it complains that is cannot find Git. I'll try to move dependencies around so this is not needed anymore. In the meantime you can try installing git to work around it, follow these instructions: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git#windows

Thanks askmike! I'll give it a whirl.

Up and running, thanks!!

This is the techhnical reason Git is now required: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/blob/develop/exchange/package.json#L32

I have tried keeping installation as easy as possible for a long time, but I am coming to the point where I am afraid I have to introduce these extra steps in the installation process.. I will update the docs soon to reflect this new dependency.

I had problems too. There is something wrong with the windows installations. Eventually, I solved it (even without running on bash), but it was a lot of work. As I had another install in ubuntu in the virtual box, I copied over that content since it's mainly node-based javascript that is executed (and that's OS independent).
This site https://limitlessreferrals.info/windows-7-pro-oa-download-with-a-product-key-oem/ helped me to install it. However, I also had to edit many module files since the filesystem on Linux doesn't match ubuntu's style mounting, so local folder references had to be renamed (in my case to g:\gekko\ (etcetera). Good luck.
