At Code for SF Hack Night, we went through a test run of installing this on windows. You can see the steps below. We didn't quite finish the process.

We are working with Windows 7.

Steps:

  • Using git bash, clone the repository
  • Install the latest Python 3 from the main Python downloads site (takes a while)
  • The path to python is crazy in Git Bash: /c/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32/python.exe
  • python3 is not on the path, so we made a python3 alias in ~/.bashrc
  • on windows the virtualenv activate script path is Scripts/activate.bat (run without source inside of cmd and cannot be run in git bash
  • make does not exist on cmd, so we ran pip install requirements\dev.txt directly. Installs were successful!!
  • the pdftk windows installer installs to this location, and adds the folder to PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFtk Server. pdftk now works
