05/08/2019, 4:14 PMCan you show the exact error and what you're doing to get it?

Goldrichs
05/08/2019, 4:16 PMThere isn't an error because I haven't been able to start because the program says I need to create a .yaml file in my directory before I can start

05/08/2019, 4:19 PMAnd how do you try to start it?
g
Goldrichs
05/08/2019, 4:20 PMby double clicking the installer in the directory that I created

karelpeeters
05/08/2019, 4:21 PMThere's no installer though?
g
Goldrichs
05/08/2019, 4:22 PMYes and it has installed and opened the compiler
k
karelpeeters
05/08/2019, 4:23 PMThere is no installer for windows. You download the zip, copy the files somewhere and then from the commandline run eg
./bin/kotlinc -versiong
Goldrichs
05/08/2019, 4:26 PMyes and I need to go back and look at it again as I was following the getting started dialog that was included. Will you be around in a couple of hours?

karelpeeters
05/08/2019, 4:29 PMSo you're not actually talking about the standalone compiler?

Goldrichs
05/08/2019, 4:30 PMYes and I'm sorry that I just got confused and need to pick up a better understanding before I can ask an intelligent question for help
