Parse.com have released their 'Cloud Code' JavaScript API, but there are no instructions for getting started on Windows.

How do you go about getting up and running in a Windows environment?

    The install shell script in the installation guide just downloads a (compiled) python file which you can probably just download by hand and use in a python interpreter on windows. This also means that the whole process (starting with the installer script) should work in cygwin. – l4mpi Sep 15 '12 at 10:23

This is what I did to get Parse.com Cloud Code running on Windows 8.

  • Install Python 2.7 (parse don't tell you this)

  • Install Git for windows (Msysgit)

  • Run 'Git Bash' as Admin, which will give you a bash style command line.

  • Make sure Python is working in the Git Bash... python

  • From here you can follow the Parse instructions, but remove 'sudo from the command they give you:

    curl -s https://www.parse.com/downloads/cloud_code/installer.sh | /bin/bash

From here it worked for me.

We released an official version of the command line tools for Windows last week. Check it out at http://blog.parse.com/2012/10/25/parse-command-line-tools-available-for-windows/

    I tried that and it keeps crashing on Windows 7 64 bit I don't know why. – eWizardII Jan 31 '13 at 22:39
  • Does it report any error message to you? The [exe version](https://parse.com/downloads/windows/console/setup.exe) of the installer will also install any dependencies (i.e. .NET 4.5) you may be missing. – Thomas Bouldin Feb 01 '13 at 21:50

  • That is the error outputted from Windows, other than that there aren't any other reported errors. – eWizardII Feb 06 '13 at 13:58
