Windows Additional Setup

 

In order to configure LOUI properly in windows, you need to follow some special steps.

Because LOUI is run mostly on mac machines, the configuration files are in different locations. You will need to set up a symbolic link that points LOUI to the windows file locations.

Symbolic links can be created by running a command line as an administrator. In your C:/ drive (or in whichever drive you've stored your workspace) create a folder named opt. Then, navigate to it in the command line, and type:

mklink LOUI <to workspace>\LOUI_Configuration\dev\

This should set LOUI to retrieve configuration files from the proper location.

 

You may also need to switch your clock to synchronize with lowell's. To do so, right-click your date and time and press Adjust Date and Time. Click the Internet Time tab, then "change settings". Change the time server to gps1.lowell.edu
