@akshaybahadur21 Thanks for the update. What OS are you running MM on? Or what is the best OS to build a MM. I only used a rpi 3 and now going to use an old i7 laptop.

Hello,

I tried to install it on a pc running windows seven pro.

It did not work and I must admit that I did not understand everything in the installation procedure.

Can anyone help me ?

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

@Chris not for windows. It requires homebrew and several other packages which are not available on windows.

Chris

under which operating system is it possible to install it since a raspberry is not powerful enough?

A pc running a Linux operating system? if so, which one is the most suitable?

Regards,

@Chris You might be able to run a virtual machine host on Windows 7 Pro and then run this mirror instance as a VM. Most likely you’ll want to run Ubuntu 16.04 desktop or possibly a version of Debian. @akshaybahadur21 will have the details as to which one.

At work, we use a Debian 9.1.0 installation for slimmed down testing. It doesn’t take up much memory or resources at all.
