Hi,

Another possibility on Windows is Boot2docker.
Though it's still a VM technology, docker may be convenient for you.

  http://boot2docker.io/
  https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md

Instructions for the Nupic docker image are on Wiki.

  https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Install-NuPIC-using-Docker
​

I tried Boot2docker by myself, too.  Here are the steps I took.

  1. Download "docker-install.exe" from the page above (about 120MB)

  2. Run "docker-install.exe" to do full-set install and reboot the PC.

  3. Double click "Boot2docker Start" icon on the desktop.
      After some time, you see "boot2docker" ASCII art on the console.

      Then, you are on the ssh session on a Tiny Core OS VM instance
      upon virtual box software.

  4. pull numenta/nupic docker image.  This takes some time.

      docker@boot2docker:~$ docker pull numenta/nupic

  5. check the image.

      docker@boot2docker:~$ docker run numenta/nupic /bin/date
      <the current date & time>

       docker@boot2docker:~$ docker run numenta/nupic /bin/bash \
       -c "cd /usr/local/src/nupic/build/scripts; make python_unit_tests"

       ... lots of output omitted ...

       ==== 785 passed, 13 skipped in 84.75 seconds ====
       [100%] Built target python_unit_tests

  6. run hotgym example.

       docker run -i -t numenta/nupic /bin/bash -c \
       "python
/usr/local/src/nupic/examples/opf/clients/hotgym/simple/hotgym.py"

ONLY 30 MINUTE TASK if everything goes well.  ;-)



By the way, I had a few troubles when installing Boot2docker on my Windows7
PC.  In case you face the same troubles with Boot2docker, you can check
boot2docker/windows-installer#31 [1] for the details.
