+# Installation for Windows
+- Install git and Unix tools. You need sh.exe to start the scripts.
+- Edit the config.json and add "ps_monitor_cmd" key to get process status:
+```
+"ps_monitor_cmd": "cscript.exe bin\\win_ps.wsf //nologo"
+```
+- Edit setup.json and change the "common" to copy instead of symbolic link.

+- Create the npm installation by going to command line of source files:

+```
+cd /d my_cronicle_dir
+npm install
+node bin/build.js dist
+sh bin/control.sh setup
+sh bin/control.sh start
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+- I've tested windows changes for simple events. If you have user switching or detached tasks, they probably will not work.
+- The gid and uid returned from Process is hard-coded as windows doesn't support this.
