WindowsSource

The following section will guide you through getting cuwo up and running in Windows.

1. Either checkout the cuwo project from GitHub, or download a zip file of the project.

2. Extract the zip file’s contents to your desired location.

3. Install Python 2.7.6

   • For 32 bit systems, use: python-2.7.6.msi

   • For 64 bit systems, use: python-2.7.5.amd64.msi

4. Install pywin Build 218

   • For 32 bit systems, use: pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe

   • For 64 bit systems, use: pywin32-218.win-amd64-py2.7.exe

5. Install Twisted

   • For 32 bit systems, use: Twisted-13.2.0.win32-py2.7.msi

   • For 64 bit systems, use: Twisted-13.2.0.win-amd64-py2.7.msi

6. Install zope.interface 4.0.5

   • For 32 bit systems, use: zope.interface-4.0.5.win32-py2.7.exe

   • For 64 bit systems, use: zope.interface-4.0.5.win-amd64-py2.7.exe

7. Install Cython

   • Prebuilt binaries can be found here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#cython

   • For 32 bit systems, use Cython-0.20.win32-py2.7.‌exe

   • For 64 bit systems, use Cython-0.20.win-amd64-py2.7.‌exe

8. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Express will work fine)

9. Edit your environment variables to have C:\Python27 in PATH.

   • This assumes that Python 2.7 installed in C:\Python27 (which is the default installation path).

10. Edit config/base.py to your liking. You should perhaps edit 'server_name' and the 'PASSWORDREPLACEME' key, which is the default password for administration purposes.

11. Place the data1.db, data2.db and Server.exe files in the data folder.

    • Specifically, you will need the Server.exe file with the MD5 hash A6FC5AA34068B5B80C53B2439C65BE3B

12. Run build.bat, then run_server.bat and enjoy!

    • If you run the batch file and it opens and immediately closes, click Start, run cmd, navigate to the folder where you extracted the cuwo files, and run run_server.bat from the command prompt to see what errors it gives.

13. If you have any problems, come talk to us on #cuwo on EsperNet IRC or open an issue if you can reproduce the problem.
