What issues do you get?
First, as @Tim mentioned, you do not need the Algorand software (goal
, msgpacktool
, …) for most tutorials. But it is sometimes convenient.
To install Algorand software on Winodws:, you have multiple options:
- Use sandbox: have you tried this patch: Fix issues on Windows 10 + MSYS 2 by fabrice102 · Pull Request #58 · algorand/sandbox · GitHub, Docker installation on Windows - #2 by fabrice
- Use the Windows distribution: GitHub - randlabs/algorand-windows-node: Algorand Node Microsoft Windows support
- Use WSL 2 and install the Ubuntu version - this is most likely the closest to Ubuntu and would make tutorial easier to follow. Steps:
- Install Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL 2: Install WSL on Windows 10 | Microsoft Docs
- Install Algorand node for Debian / Ubuntu 20.04: Install a Node - Algorand Developer Portal
- Install Ubuntu in VirtualBox
