Hackathon/Laptop setup/Windows git-review
Install the Python packaging system
In order to install gerrit-review, you must set up distribute, the Python software packaging system.
To do that, open Git Bash (available by Start-> Programs -> Git -> Git Bash) and run this command:
curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python
You will see a lot of happy messages print out, and finally you will see a prompt again (which looks like $ sign).
Download git-review
To download git-review, run these commands:
curl http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/git-review/git-review-1.17.tar.gz > git-review.tar.gz tar zxvf git-review.tar.gz cd git-review-1.17 python setup.py install
Make sure git-review runs
After all this work, you will want to make sure the program is properly installed. Type this into the prompt:
git-review
You should see a happy error message, three lines long:
No .gitreview file found in this repository.
We don't know where your gerrit is. Please manually create
a remote named gerrit and try again.
Hooray! It is properly installed.
