How to install Ganache appx on Windows 7

Question

This question might sound silly-  I have downloaded the Ganache.appx from the official site and I don't know how to start the ganache. I dont find any files in ganache official site for my specific version of windows, i.e., 7

Please let me know how to launch ganache in my machine.

Answer 1

Go to https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/releases there are a set of releases. For my windows 7, I downloaded ganache-setup-1.2.1.exe and installed. It worked.

Answer 2

You could refer Ganache Issues for your problem.

Ganache builds are targeted for Windows App Store. Build line should be tweaked to achieve this. 

Answer 3

Double click on the Ganache.appx file. Follow the prompts and Ganache will be installed. Next, type the windows button and search for Ganache, and click on the icon in the search result. Ganache will be running.

Now working. It says that I don't have the right application to open this type of file.

Install 7-zip. Then right click on the downloaded file and extract the contents of the file. You will find an executable file (with .exe extension), double click on it to run it. This will install Ganache.

Thank you so much Rizwan!! I actually used PeaZip to extract the .appx file but it worked perfectly!

Answer 4

First, install nodejs on your system. Then open the command prompt as administrator and then run the following commands:

$ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
$ git clone https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache.git
$ cd ganache
$ npm install
$ npm start

Ganache should be up and running.
