+# First synchronisation of files
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We will go through the first steps to get gin working with your computer version of the data, this is the version 1 of this tutorial meant for windows users.
|
|
|
+This tutorial take for granted you have created, or have write access to a repository on the gin platform.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Install gin
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Download the latest gin-cli (up to 5 minutes)
|
|
|
+- extract the downloaded files ( up to 15 minutes)
|
|
|
+- double click the set-global file
|
|
|
+- if not working, look at the information of that file and change security settings
|
|
|
+- test: use the command prompt (open via writing cmd in the folder address), and type `gin login` if it ask for a password, it means the installation worked.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Use the comand prompt
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- go to a parent folder where to save your repository files
|
|
|
+- Open a prompt by typing `cmd`in the address bar
|
|
|
+- In the browser, go to your repository, and copy the text you got from the GIN button (next to HTTPS and SSH buttons)
|
|
|
+- In the prompt, paste the text (you need to right-click, command V does not work in the prompt)
|
|
|
+- You may need to type `gin login` and give your credentials first.
|
|
|
+- Wait until the files are downloaded
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## synchronisation
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- In the prompt type `gin download .` if you want to download big files.
|
|
|
+- You can now add files in the folders as you would normally do on your computer
|
|
|
+- In particular, add the sync.bat file you find [here](https://gin.g-node.org/gin4RRI/gin-scripts/src/master/sync.bat), if none is present
|
|
|
+- When you are finished, double click sync.bat file, it should synchronise your changes with the server.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# installation not working
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- move the files to a location where you will save your repositories.
|
|
|
+- double click the `gin-shell` file
|
|
|
+- you will not be able to use scripts and will need to open the `gin-shell` file to give gin commands via the prompt.
|
|
|
+ - open `gin-shell`
|
|
|
+ - type: `gin login`
|
|
|
+ - type `gin sync`
