Installation for Windows

• Install git and Unix tools. You need sh.exe to start the scripts.
• Edit the config.json and add "ps_monitor_cmd" key to get process status:

"ps_monitor_cmd": "cscript.exe bin\\win_ps.wsf //nologo"

• Edit setup.json and change the "common" to copy instead of symbolic link.

"common": [
			[ "copyCompress", "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js", "htdocs/js/external/" ],
			[ "copyCompress", "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.map", "htdocs/js/external/" ],
			[ "copyCompress", "node_modules/zxcvbn/dist/zxcvbn.js", "htdocs/js/external/" ],
			[ "copyCompress", "node_modules/zxcvbn/dist/zxcvbn.js.map", "htdocs/js/external/" ],

		]

• Create the npm installation by going to command line of source files:

cd /d my_cronicle_dir
npm install
node bin/build.js dist
sh bin/control.sh setup
sh bin/control.sh start

Gotchas

• I've tested windows changes for simple events. If you have user switching or detached tasks, they probably will not work.
• The gid and uid returned from Process is hard-coded as windows doesn't support this.
