* This very site, "code.soundsoftware.ac.uk":http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk, is a code hosting site for projects by UK-based audio and music researchers. If you're interested in audio and music, please do register and make use of it! Repository hosting uses Mercurial, and your projects can be public or private.

To use Unix commands on a Windows machine, you will need to install additional software (e.g. MinGW or Cygwin).
40 1 Chris Cannam
NB: Cygwin doesn't install nano, Python or Mercurial by default - they need to be selected in the setup.
41 1 Chris Cannam
42 15 Chris Cannam
The windows command prompt and powershell provide similar facilities to the Unix shell, but with different commands and syntax!
43 1 Chris Cannam
44 16 Chris Cannam
If you own an android tablet or phone, then that is a Unix device. It doesn't come with a command prompt by default, but you can "install one":https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en. NB: this may be dangerous for your device!
45 1 Chris Cannam
46 16 Chris Cannam
If you want to try a full Unix system, then "VirtualBox":http://www.virtualbox.org/ can be used to create a "virtual machine" - a fake computer that runs inside your normal session. You can then install a Linux distribution on that virtual machine.

59 15 Chris Cannam
60 16 Chris Cannam
On Windows, "TortoiseHg":http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ provides an alternative interface to Mercurial - you can right-click files in Windows Explorer. In some ways it's more techy than EasyMercurial.
