Hi All,
Since the Raku Windows Installer forgets to install Git along
with Zef:
https://github.com/rakudo/star/issues/145
You have to install Git yourself:
https://git-for-windows.github.io/
Now here is a sweet feature of having Git installed.
It comes with all kind of nice Linux utilities, like ls,
tar, more, etc..
To get access to them:
--> <win><r> sysdm.cpl
--> Advanced (tab at the top)
--> Environmental Variables (button, lower right)
--> Path, Edit, add to the end
;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
I don't know about you guys, but every time I
want a directory listing in Windows, I type
`ls` and have to go back and change it to `dir`.
No longer!

Turns out the problem was mine. It is much more
fun when it is not.

I wrote myself a keeper on the subject:
https://git-for-windows.github.io/
Note: to add git's UNIX (Linux) tools (ls, tar, curl, etc.)
to the path:
1) inside the installer, on the
--> Adjust your PATH environment (window name at top)
--> Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Command
Prompt (bottom selection)
2) Or, after the fact:
--> <win><r> sysdm.cpl
--> Advanced (tab at the top)
--> Environmental Variables (button, lower right)
--> Path, Edit, add to the end
;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
