Software Carpentry Windows Installer

Helps mimic a *nix environment on Windows with as little work as possible.

The script:

* Installs [nano][] and makes it accessible from [msysGit][]
* Installs [SQLite][] and makes it accessible from msysGit
* Creates a `~/nano.rc` with links to syntax highlighting configs
* Provides standard [nosetests][] behavior for msysGit
* Adds [R][]'s bin directory to the path (if we can find it)

Building
========

Building the Windows installer requires a Windows machine with [Python][],
[py2exe][] and [Inno Setup][inno]. `py2exe` can be installed using `pip` and
Inno Setup can be installed using the self-installing package from
[the download page][inno-download].

```
python setup.py install
python setup.py py2exe
ISCC.exe swc-installer.iss
```

For folks who don't want to build their own version, the most recent
version is also [available here][compiled].

Using
=====

Just have your students download and double-click the compiled
installer.  If you're using [R][], you'll have to [install
R][R-install] before running this installer (because this installer
searches likely paths to find R's `bin` directory).  Otherwise, you
can run it whenever you like (e.g. either before or after installing
[Python][]).
