Installing scrapinghub splash in windows cmd

Question

I'm new to using scrapy / splash. Based on the instructions here I have successfully installed scrapy-splash. The second requirement is splash itself. I do not have docker and splash documentation does not have instructions on how to install splash for windows without docker. Could someone please help?

This is the error msg i get

C:\splash>C:\Python27\Python.exe setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

Thanks in advance!

There are no instructions on how to install Splash without Docker on Windows because it is complicated and requires a lot of dependencies; Docker is easier. — Mikhail Korobov, Nov 03 '16 at 06:52

scrapy-splash needs a docker as its virtual environment. Therefore it is so hard to deploy splash without docker.

Found my answer here: How do you run a setup.py file properly?

C:\Python27\Python.exe setup.py install
