Install script for Windows?

[tony979]

There's only .sh installer in https://github.com/Azure/PerceptOSS/blob/main/docs/tutorial/setup-guide.md. Do we plan to build an equivalent script for Windows?

@tony979 We currently don't have a concrete plan, but we will include this in our roadmap. Is this a blocking issue for your usecase?

@penorouzi to run POSS with AKS-IoT or Windows machines, it needs extra installation to run bash

@tony979 Thanks! Do you mind providing information on what you had to go through so we can improve and/or add more documentation for others?

Hi @penorouzi , @tony979 , share my findings below.

Pre-requisites:

1. Before running the poss script we should install some tools

• chocolatey

2.Use chocolatey to install
$ choco install awk
$ choco install jq
$ choco install kubernetes-helm

3. Download win-bash
4. Unzip win-bash and copy following script to the environment path (C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps)

• bash
• xargs
• grep

The script: poss-installer.sh should be modified:
Line 445 & 446.
The json format should be tunned for windows powershell.
