Hi all, ok downloaded the latest kotlin app on my win 7 computer and it says I need a .yaml document in the directory I created. where do I get said file? And if it is necessary, why isn't it included in the download package?

What Kotlin app?

The program

Do you mean the standalone compiler? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/command-line.html

Yes

Can you show the exact error and what you're doing to get it?

There 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

How do you try to start it?

windows 7 and I followed the directions for installing and unzipping and starting the program

And how do you try to start it?

by double clicking the installer in the directory that I created

There's no installer though?

Yes and it has installed and opened the compiler

There is no installer for windows. You download the zip, copy the files somewhere and then from the commandline run eg

./bin/kotlinc -version

.

yes 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?

A getting started dialog? Where did you get that from?

From the Kotlin is awesome website

So you're not actually talking about the standalone compiler?

Yes 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

I'll be gone for about 4h starting about 1h from now.
