Need help testing the one-click-installation in Talawa Admin

[tanaykmr]

I'd like to request everybody's help in testing out the new one-click installation in Talawa admin.
Docs: https://docs-admin.talawa.io/docs/installation
Could you please try it out, and lmk if you face any issues?

NOTE: it only works on Linux and Mac OS right now. Feel free to contribute here to make it work on windows too.

Tested the Windows one-click installation from the latest repo. It did not run initially failing immediately with syntax errors due to encoding.
I had to apply two fixes to get it to run successfully:

1. Saved as UTF-8-BOM: Required because emojis were choking PowerShell.
2. Added $LASTEXITCODE check : The original script kept saying “Installation complete” even when install-deps failed.

Only after these fixes did the script run successfully.

also do i need to raise a new issue as the PR is closed now.

Yeah, go ahead.
Someone else coded the windows aspect, so I can't vouch for that, but the script breaking is unacceptable.
