Adapt Learning Community: Trying to install on Windows

Following these instructions to install Adapt on Windows Server 2008 r2. I've got the following installed:

git version 2.8.1.windows.1
node v4.2.6
nodist 0.7.2
npm 3.8.6
grunt-cli v1.2.0

So far so good. But when I try to npm install -g adapt-cli I get a bunch of warnings and errors. These seem to be the most useful of the nearly 6000 lines in the log. I'm pretty novice at this server stuff so please keep it simple. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like the git clone is failing. Are you behind a network proxy?

Hi Rothrock,

Were you ever successful with your install? I am doing the install on a Windows 2012 server and seem to be blocked at the same place you indicated the adapt-cli install.

I don't have a proxy set up.

Thanks,

Laura
