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 3.4

   • For 32 bit systems, use: python-3.4.1.msi

   • For 64 bit systems, use: python-3.4.1.amd64.msi

4. Install Cython

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

   • For 32 bit systems, use Cython‑0.20.1.win32‑py3.4.exe

   • For 64 bit systems, use Cython‑0.20.1.win-amd‑py3.4.exe

5. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Express will work fine)

6. 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.

7. 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.

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