How do I Install CumulusMX in Windows?

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

How do I Install CumulusMX in Windows?

Post by Luke »

Hi, I've returned to Cumulus after a gap of many years and please excuse my ignorance but can someone advise me on how to install CumulusMX onto my Windows 10 laptop.

After downloading and extracting the files and then run CumulusMX.exe, I just get the attached Command prompt. The program doesn't seem to run. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks.

That's exactly what is supposed to happen.

If you read the text, you need to put http://localhost:8998/ in to your web browser and it'll take you to the dashboard. From there, you can go through the menu and set up your station.

CMX is running OK. The interface is webbased.
In your browser go to http://localhost:8998 and do the settings.

Well, Mapanz was first :)

Many thanks indeed Mapanz and HansR.

Like I said, please excuse my ignorance. I'm not very computer-savvy!
