It's easy to get the Windows boxes as they are just lying around the place.<br />The really reason for using Windows in dev is I want it to be accessible to other members of not only our team, but anyone else looking to kick the tyres of NoSQL. <br />There is something in being able install and configure something alien to you in less than 5 minutes; I've seen people get quite excited about it; in a geeky way.<br />What I've noticed though, is that not everyone is comfortable away from Windows - it's just a fact I'm afraid - some folks were brought up on Windows even though they curse it daily will not ove away from it. <br />I'm happy for them to jump on those boxes and get a feel for installing their own instance, play with replicasets, sharding et al. <br />I've never seen anyeone - with zero guidance - get up and running in longer than 10 mins. A one-pager, quick start is ideal here. They are inserting data in moments, creating indexes minutes later and map/reducing by the end of the day.<br />So what I'm getting at it, if I don't have a Windows version I can install, then I'm going to need steal a bunch of linux boxes for dev/proto env and lose out on seeing folk gain some satisfaction from installing their own multi-machine NoSQL instance.<br /><br />As far as the shell goes. Yes please.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335719314813410020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132785414967539357.post-87664710270972290462012-07-27T04:08:52.284+01:002012-07-27T04:08:52.284+01:00Sorry to hear you didn't find the getting up a...Sorry to hear you didn't find the getting up and running experience super easy! 2.0-DP4 is a tad old. we started releasing "nightly" dev builds. You can find them on the "Download All" page (http://www.couchbase.com/downloads-all) as "2.0 Recent Builds". Don't have it for Windows yet, but try this one on your Ubuntu box: http://packages.couchbase.com/builds/1495/couchbase-server-community_x86_64_2.0.0-1495-rel.deb Now has sample DB include which you can select in the wizard, so you get some data and views to play around with out-the-box.<br /><br />Oh and the video on the download page (http://www.couchbase.com/download) has a quick summary of stepping you through the setup wizard (BTW any registration is optional).<br /><br />Of course try making a cluster as well!<br /><br />Good feedback on the lack of shell. There are some early experiments around a shell here: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/cbshell let us know whether you think such a shell would be something you'd like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713343827268537347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132785414967539357.post-60710405093124353092012-07-26T16:56:49.948+01:002012-07-26T16:56:49.948+01:00Mmmmmm...
