[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.

The "Quirks_on_Windows" page has been changed by DaveCottlehuber.
The comment on this change is: regress python version so that py2exe can be used. provide a quick start guide using hosted couch rather than install & run your own..
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Quirks_on_Windows?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=5

--------------------------------------------------

  
  == Quick Start ==
  So you just can't wait to relax can you? The fastest route is to:
- * install the tools below excluding CouchDB
- * sign yourself up for the current free no-guarantees [[http://www.couch.io/get|beta cloud hosting]]
- * wade into [[http://books.couchdb.org/relax/|the Definitive Guide]] and check the quick start notes on using CouchApp
  
- == Tools ==
+  * unzip [[http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.5-win32-ssl-sspi.zip|curl]] and add to your path
+  * run the latest [[http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp/downloads|couchapp installer]]
+  * sign yourself up for the current free no-guarantees [[http://www.couch.io/get|beta cloud hosting]] to get your own couch ready to go
+  * read the [[http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp/blob/master/README.md|quick start notes]] on using [[http://www.couchapp.org/|CouchApp]]
+  * wade into [[http://books.couchdb.org/relax/|the Definitive Guide]]
  
- * For general usage of CouchDB and the essential CouchApp tool, get the following bits installed & added to your path
- * in each case we list the tool, site, then the version last tested with in case you get stuck with version creep
- * the 32-bit tools are recommended even on 64-bit platforms for the moment.

- == Building from Source  ==
- Note the full build chain is documented in http://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/trunk/INSTALL.Windows -- but again you don't need this for *installing* and *using* CouchDB on Windows.
-  * use only 32-bit components even if you are building on a 64-bit architecture
-  * make sure you have a clean path with your build chain first - watch out for other developer tools like git, which may have older versions of OpenSSL or ICU binaries in your path
-  * Firefox is the only supported browser for running the Futon test suite - some tests still fail due to platform differences however
- 
- == Upgrade ==
-  * recommendation is to backup, uninstall, re-install, validate using Futon test suite, restore data, rather than an in-place upgrade
-  * this ensures you have a cruft-free experience while the windows build & installer continues to change
  
  == Run ==
   * You can still complete compaction of your couch by stopping CouchDB and deleting/renaming the appropriate data files - just be careful

   * Online compaction is not supported on Windows due to differences between UX and Windows on renaming/deleting files that are open in another process/thread
