Setting up Q environment

Community Support

Hi huys, first post.

I can’t seem to get Q working.

The terminal screen flashes up then dissappears. Using a windows 8 64 bit. Downloaded it for windows numerous times now. It was working before but stopped some time ago and I can’t seem to pinpoint what it was. The path has been set to the q.exe location.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Hi Dan,

Start over:
set QHOME=
set QBIN=

set QEXE=

Make sure no excrements of old q dirs in your path var… echo %Path%…and reset this as required.

If you have unzipped to c:\q then simply do 

set Path=%Path%;c:\q\w32

no need to set QHOME as it defaults to c:\q

If you have unzipped to somewhere else

set Path=%Path%=%PATH%;c:\q\q\w32

set QHOME=c:\q\q

Note QHOME is where q.k sits, not the exe.

HTH,

Sean

if you start a windows command prompt, and start q from within that, what error appears?
