Codebuff for Windows dev setup

Welcome!

For development, we have a shared windows machine, via shadow.tech.

Accessing the machine

You can access the machine either from the browser or with the desktop app:

  1. Shadow.tech Web viewer:
  1. Shadow.tech desktop app:

Supposedly you can also use Window's Remote Desktop to access the machine instead, but I've not tried it. Shadow.tech claims their protocol is better optimized for lower bandwidth use & hence smoother performance.

Set-up guide:

You shouldn't need this - but just in case you stop using Shadow.tech, or make a new account, here's a guide on how to get from a blank Windows install to a Codebuff install.

Surprisingly: most guides in fact recommend running everything in an Admin PowerShell, contra to advice to not use sudo on eg: Linux/macOS.

  • Install Choco: Open PowerShell as Admin, and run the command from https://chocolatey.org/install
  • Install NVM: Restart PowerShell (still as Admin) and run choco install nvm -y
  • Install Node: Restart PowerShell (still as Admin) and run nvm install node
  • Install Codebuff: Run npm i -g codebuff
