Hi @jakeweidokal ,

The current installation script on 'master' does not work properly on Windows machines. We are currently working on a fix which will appear in the next release.

In general, to run FRET on Windows, you need to install Cygwin (this is the solution that we have had the most success with so far). A detailed guide can be seen in the end of this post (we will add this back to our main guide with the new release)

Please disregard the note in the guide that recommends node v10.15.0, but make sure that the current version of node that you have installed is actually accessible via the Cygwin terminal.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before the step in the guide that asks you to run 'npm run fret-install', you would need to do the following:

1. 'cd fret/fret-electron'
2. 'npm uninstall babel-register'
3. 'npm uninstall babel-core'
4. 'npm install @babel/core @babel/register --save-dev'

These steps will not be necessary with the future release.

After the above commands are completed, follow the rest of the guide. If you encounter an error during the end of the installation that mentions webpack not supporting native dependencies, please disregard.

The guide can be found here:

If you have further questions, please let us know!
