    I tried to figure out what and how to make this work. Wow, way above my abilities.
    Can you make a script for all of it so, us dummies can use it?

    Slow learner. But trying anyways.

          @plainbroke can you install MM on your windows and be able to run it? Or should we start from there?

            Do you know whether the install script developed and maintained by @sdetweil would install on various specified versions of Windows [E.G. Win7, Win 8, Win 8.1, Win 10 or Win 11]? if that script will install on the various implementations of Windows, that would likely solve this question of how to do it.

              To be honest, I always install MM on various env, manually by myself. Never with his script. So my experience will not be helpful.
              Anyway,
              Even in windows (I installed MM many times on Windows) it is always same.

              1. Install git-bash
              2. Install nvm-for-windows, then install node js through it.
              3. Make a working directory for MM on git-bash terminal.
              4. Clone repository of MM on that directory with git command.
              5. Edit some path in package.json for Windows.
              6. execute npm install.
              7. Make config.js, custom.css
              8. For fonts and bundle, install them.

              Well, For me it’s not difficult at all but I recommend @sdetweil ‘s script for beginners. As far as I know, it will work on all Windows version.

                @JohnGalt the script does NOT work on windows… it is bash only

                but install on windows is easy too…
                (well, node and npm excluded)
                the doc has the steps
                open a command prompt (cmd.exe)
                use nvm to install node version needed

                  @MMRIZE no NOT need git bash

                    I prefer bash. For similar experience with real -NIX/MacOS.
