Thanks for the suggestions Ori - I tried Option A (using /usr/bin) and that installed it. But, I then had trouble actually getting it to run:
In git bash, running `fresh-node` resulted in the error
> the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'
I tried to run the command in command prompt instead, since I understand that it is TTY. I navigated to where the actual fresh-node file was (C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin>) and ran `bash fresh-node` with the result:
```
fresh-node: line 12: basename: command not found
fresh-node: line 13: basename: command not found
fresh-node: line 123: uname: command not found
/usr/bin/env: 'sh': No such file or directory
```
so I then tried harder to get it to work in git bash. A bit of testing and internet research later about the TTY issue, and I found that the cause of the TTY failure was that the fresh-node script has a line `docker_args+=("--interactive" "--tty")`. I replaced this with `docker_args+=("--interactive")` and then tried to run fresh-node again.
This time, it looked like it was starting to work, saying that it couldn't find the '
docker-registry.wikimedia.org/releng/node10-test-browser:0.6.3-s2' image locally and so downloaded it. However, after it downloaded, there was an error:
```
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/sh": stat C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/sh: no such file or directory: unknown.
```
and repeated attempts to run `fresh-node` produce the same error (without trying to download the image again).
Looking through file explorer, "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/sh" does appear to exist (it's a 1918 KB application).
So, what I'm wondering is:
* what is the correct way to *run* fresh-node on windows once it is downloaded to /usr/bin?
* is this Docker error because I removed the --tty parameter? Or is it something else?
Thanks,
