@angiebaby This made me curious, and good news, you can 100% do this in Windows using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, as someone else mentioned.)

It's pretty simple if you have a little bit of experience w/ Linux. If not, some step-by-step instructions would get you there in less than an hour. I don't have time to create those today, but if I find myself w/ some free time, I'll try to make them.

@angiebaby That said, the basic steps to create a site using Windows are:

1) Install WSL learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind

2) Figure out where in Windows you want to store your Faircamp site. From your new Ubuntu terminal, cd (change directories) to that folder. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind

3) Put your music there like Faircamp wants you to (following their instructions).

4) cd to your new artist folder in your ubuntu terminal, and run the Faircamp commands.

learn.microsoft.comInstall WSLInstall Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command, wsl --install. Use a Bash terminal on your Windows machine run by your preferred Linux distribution - Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, Fedora, Pengwin, Alpine, and more are available.

@angiebaby I just did this and it literally took me 3 minutes to accomplish (granted, I have experience with this stuff).

And by the way, is freaking AWESOME! I'm actually glad to have tried it, thinking I might actually use it now. :)

@angiebaby Also, fwiw, given how this software works, I kinda doubt it will be a straight Windows package for a long time, if ever. But using WSL is an amazing option, and I'm so glad Windows added it!!
