Having trouble with installing Wasp
Hey guys, tried to install Wasp with the command from the website :
"curl -sSL https://get.wasp.sh/installer.sh | sh".
Tried with cmd, got an error:
'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Asked ChatGPT, told me to install it with Git Bash, got another error:
curl: (35) schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATIO
N_CHECK (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation fo
r the certificate.
Aked ChatGPT again, told me to try WSL, encountered some difficulties with that.
What am i doing wrong, can someone help?

Hi @lemixxa. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It looks like you're having issues installing Wasp on Windows. The main issue is that Wasp doesn't fully support native Windows installation yet, and you need to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) instead.
Why you're encountering errors:
1. The
sh command doesn't work in Windows CMD because it's a Unix/Linux shell command
2. The Git Bash error is related to certificate verification issues
3. WSL is actually the recommended approach for Windows users
How to install Wasp on Windows:
The official Wasp documentation recommends using WSL for Windows users:
With Wasp for Windows, we are almost there: Wasp is successfully compiling and running on Windows but there is a bug or two stopping it from fully working... In the meantime, the best way to start using Wasp on Windows is by using WSL.Quick Start Guide There's a step-by-step guide specifically for setting up Wasp with WSL: Guide to Windows Development with Wasp & WSL Important note for WSL users: If you're using WSL2, make sure your Wasp project is on the Linux file system, not the Windows file system. Otherwise, Wasp won't detect file changes due to a known issue in WSL2. If you're still having difficulties with WSL, many community members have faced similar issues and received help on the Wasp Discord. Feel free to share what specific difficulties you encountered with WSL, and I can try to provide more targeted assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @lemixxa, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?
Hi, for Windows it will only work if you install through WSL. What's the hold up there?
