Installing through binary for windows. Fabric not recognized.

[Ingressero]

I've finished the install using binaries for windows. I ran the .exe and a cmd window popped up. Followed the required plugins to configure. After that cmd disappeared but I dont see fabric installed anywhere. Is there more to that step?

I'm a noob. But I can understand straight forward steps. That seemed pretty straight forward to me. But now I don't know if fabric is installed or not. I tried using fabric -help in cmd but fabric is not recognized.

Fabric windows installer did not install fabric or go for that matter. It did however create the c:\users[user].config directory and the .env file.

I ran these steps manually as I already have choco and git installed and while you probably could just run the setup_fabric.bat file -- it requires running as admin, so it will likely put your .config directory in the wrong profile (admin not your user).

I worked around this by installing it directly using the setup_fabric.bat as a guide:

Launch terminal with elevated privileges (as administrator):
(can use winget or choco or installer of your choice)

choco install golang -y
set "PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Go\bin"

Launch terminal normally (without elevated privileges):

go install github.com/danielmiessler/fabric@latest
go install github.com/danielmiessler/yt@latest

re-run setup: choose 'Set Default Model' (19 I think?)(if you've already set your keys from running this with the installer, those as-is. your previous setup will remain intact.)

fabric --setup

update patterns:

fabric /U

should be up and running!
