  • I too have been trying to install expresso on windows. So far I have not figured out how, but it would appear that the make file is geared specifically toward a Linux/Unix type machine. The reason I say this is that I tried just installing just expresso "make install-expresso" and it died when attempting to change to the \usr\local\bin directory, which I believe is a Linux directory, but I know is not a windows directory. I don't know much about make files, as this is the first time i've ever actually used it, but I've coded msbuild files, so maybe I can figure it out. – CStroliaDavis Sep 16 '12 at 18:18

    node.jscoverage requires a Unix-like environment to build, that's why installing expresso failed. There is already an opened issue (https://github.com/visionmedia/expresso/issues/159) for this - I wil have a look on it the next weeks. – akluth Sep 26 '12 at 13:12

clone the module using git clone command and use the code locally.
