Install windows

[stefanw1337]

I always have issues with github and windows. There's no clear instructions for me, almost ever. I have gotten some projects to work, but then there's been a windows-version already compiled for me to download and run.

And so I put the create-react-app in a folder.

Well, first of all this failed:
pip install 'recap-core[all]'
ERROR: Invalid requirement: "'recap-core[all]'"

So I resulted to:
$pip install recap

Which worked! But don't know it that's right. Let's go with it.

But then trying to run it..
$recap
'recap' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
So then I'm stuck.. Now what?

So I found this, create-recap-app, which sounded like it would be for windows. But I don't have npx, so kinda stuck (again!):
'npx' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Like your instructions tells me to type. This is like a constant struggle for non-expert windows users, trying to get shit done.

My end-goal was this:
https://github.com/dptetc/darkspore-offline

And over there it says, download the files, install dependancy for ReCap then ReCap and..:
Copy the patch_darkspore_exe.exe file from the patcher folder (from the ReCap release) to the DarksporeBin folder.
But now how to get any exe-file?! Why can't all github projects just compile the exe-file for me, this is always a problem! The instructions are half-assed written.

Please help, why am I never understanding how github works, and can seldom follow instructions written, what am I not getting?
