Install testrpc on Windows

Question

How can I install testrpc on Windows? I can use apt in windows.

Answer 1

You can not directly install testrpc on windows. But you can install it using Chocolatey.

Refer to this site to install Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/install

After installing it, Open command prompt as administrator and run the following command to install pre-requisites.

$ choco install nodejs.install –y

$ choco install git –y

$ choco install VisualStudioCode -y 

To install testrpc, run the following command:

$ npm install -g npm

$ npm install -g -production windows-build-tools

$ npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc

Hi,

Could you please help me , I'm getting some common errors in pre-requisites :

 `-y not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.
 Source(s): 'https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/'
 NOTE: When you specify explicit sources, it overrides default sources.
If the package version is a prerelease and you didn't specify `--pre`,
 the package may not be found.
Please see https://chocolatey.org/docs/troubleshooting for more
 assistance.`

also `Failures  - -y - -y not installed.`

Hi, @krishna,

Does that error occur when you were trying installing Chocolatey Package? Because this error will show only when the installation is failed. Could you please confirm that?
