Dependency Installation for Windows

Installing Python

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/python-3.5.2.exe

Creating a Virtual Environment and Installing Dependencies

Create the virtual environment. From the working directory of our project (e.g., c:/devel/web-cse440-au17):

c:/Python35/python.exe -m venv env35

This will create a directory for the virtual environment (e.g., c:/devel/web-cse440-au17/env35/).

Next activate that virtual environment and install our Python dependencies:

env35/Scripts/activate.bat
pip install -r requirements3.txt

Installing Node

https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.5.0/node-v4.5.0-x64.msi

The default installation options are appropriate.
