How to install, compile, and utilize Rebar in Windows

up vote 6 down vote favorite 3

Is this possible? All tutorials I've come across on how to build and use Rebar involve Unix commands, and I'm a most unfortunate Windows user. I'd really like to avoid installing Cygwin if I can help it. For example, to build Rebar you get: $ git clone git://github.com/rebar/rebar.git $ cd rebar $ ./bootstrap Recompile: src/getopt ... Recompile: src/rebar_utils ==> rebar (compile) Congratulations! You now have a self-contained script called "rebar" in your current working directory. Place this script anywhere in your path and you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps. What is the windows-cmd equivalent? Any links or tutorial below to offer step by step instructions on how to utilize rebar in windows shell would be greatly appreciated. UPDATE: After manually downloading and extracting Rebar to my directory located at: C:\erlang\rebar I go to the windows shell and enter: SET PATH=C:\Program Files\erl5.10.1\bin This is the 'bin' folder located inside the directory holding erlang.exe Next I enter: C:\erlang\rebar>bootstrap.bat Compiled! :)
