New tutorial: Setting up a development environment on Windows

News
1

Hello everyone,

For those who want to help develop Gladys, there was previously no tutorial to set up a Gladys 4 development environment on Windows.

The reason is simple: I use macOS/Linux, and I have no experience with Windows.

Fortunately, @VonOx has made a great tutorial for developing on Windows with WSL!

For those on macOS/Linux:

Thanks @VonOx for this great tutorial!

:warning:Warning, this tutorial is intended for advanced users who want to develop on Gladys, this is not a tutorial for installing Gladys for production use.

I confirm, thank you @VonOx for transcribing our conversation in this tutorial.

Thanks to that, I was able to make my first PR.
But as @pierre-gilles says

I am far from being at the level of a professional developer. There are many things to know to do clean coding.

Interesting idea about using WSL to run Gladys. I am running Gladys without WSL using Windows version of NodeJS.

@siburny Of course its possible. But its about setup a dev env ( maintain and support it ), not just running Gladys.

Feel free to contribute to documentation if you want sharing your setup. The tricky part I think is openzwave ( need of visual studio etc… )

Yeah. I think I didn’t run into any problems because I don’t use those services. I will try your guide though - I am curious about the performance (vs my setup)
