Windows installation

Blacklight generally should work fine on Windows! There are a couple of caveats, in particular around the image optimizer tools.

Git SSH Keys

You'll likely need working git ssh keys so the "bl module install" command can work. This can be challenging on Windows, but definitely doable. Google is your friend if you encounter difficult.

Image optimizer tools

Use Chocolatey to get the following:

  • ImageMagick
  • jpegoptim

Use Cygwin to get:

  • lcms2 - Use the cygwin "setup" dialog to find and install this package.

Once that's done, configure local.json to point to folders like these:

{"imageOptimizer":{
"jpegoptim":"C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/jpegoptim/tools/jpegoptim.exe",
"jpgicc":"c:/cygwin/bin/jpgicc.exe",
"imagemagick-convert":"c:/progra~1/ImageMagick-7.0.1-Q16/magick.exe"
}}
