Hello Andrew,
The lesson was written and tested on a Mac. But yeah, on Windows, when
trying to execute "sh /path/to/send.sh" either directly from the
terminal or via the shell command using LC, it is expected to throw an
error. You _might_ be able to work around this by changing the .sh
extension to .bat if you are on Windows, and instead of "sh
/path/to/send.sh" use "/path/to/send.bat".
If I find some time I'll experiment with this and update the lesson
next
week, unless you get there first :)
Unfortunately bash scripts are incompatible with bat(ch) - they are both
'shells' but the latter is distinctly tied to Windows - so you'd need to
translate the script from bash to batch. (There are windows builds of
Curl that run on windows - they use exactly the same arguments /
options).
That being said, if you want a quick way to get UNIX style shell scripts
to work - then you could install Cygwin and the commands used in said
shell script (is it just curl?) - you can then run the shell script from
the cygwin terminal.
Cygwin is basically a lot of UNIXy stuff compiled to run on Windows with
an emulation layer for POSIX system calls mapped to Windows.
You might also want to investigate Microsoft's own relatively new 'UNIX
on Windows' stuff - although I think that is restricted to recentish
versions of Windows 10. There, they basically run a custom linux kernel
on top of Windows to give you a Linux environment which interoperates
quite well alongside Windows.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
