Hi everyone,
I have compiled a list of steps that I took to successfully complete a developer installation of Arches 4.4.3 locally on my Windows 10 laptop. Please note that these are not the recommended steps for installation; these are the troubleshooting steps that I took to test the documented developer installation steps, without fully deploying an Arches instance. If you are using Windows OS, it is generally recommended to deploy utilizing a Linux system. That said, these steps may be of assistance to someone troubleshooting their own local test installation. If you encounter other installation errors, be sure to post them to the Arches forum for assistance from the community. For reference, the original developer installation documentation can be found here. <https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/creating-a-development-environment/#creating-a-development-environment> -- *Install any Requirements and Dependencies <https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/requirements-and-dependencies/#>* *Confirm system environment variables* 1.
