I haven't used windows in 15 years and couldn't find anybody to write the directions for me, so I went with snarky over spending time figuring out how to install python3 and mysql on windows. ;-)

in response to referral link comment: I host the site on my own dime so I didn't think getting $.25 from DO would make me a bad person...also, I really don't have time to learn windows to make instructions. I'm a grad student and make slightly above minimum wage annually, if I were to be evil and greedy I'd probably not be doing what I do with my life. I'm giving away thousands of hours of work and data I could make money off of doing evil things.

I think you guys/gals have a point, the referral link is gone. ;-)




I think the better solution would have been to just disclose that it was a referral link.
