How do I setup Drupal Console on Windows 7?

Question

How do I install/setup Drupal Console on Windows 7? In the video by the author, the environment used is Linux.

I tried to install it on Windows 7, but I wasn't able to use it to generate a module code.

I have no idea what your question is. I have no idea what "Drupal 8 console" is. If you want run a server and drupal on windows 7, the easiest way might be to install "wampsever", add the drupal files to the www directory. That is how I have been doing it the past few years, until I started running a virtual machine. — 2pha, Dec 26 '14 at 09:35
Console project is available at https://www.drupal.org/project/console project help in creating modules very fast. But I am not getting it worked on windows. — MSN, Dec 29 '14 at 04:38
Oh, well maybe do what I do and run a virtual linux server on your machine. I use virtualBox — 2pha, Dec 29 '14 at 09:52

You can download the drupal console either using Git Bash

$curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal

Or using windows command prompt

c:\>php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal

After downloading this file, place it beside php.exe file within your php folder (not project folder), restart your terminal/cmd-prompt and type

$drupal

to get started.

Besides downloading Drupal Console .phar file, you can also install Drupal Console using composer on windows.

First Download and install composer in your system.

Then on your windows command prompt or git terminal

$composer global require drupal/console:@stable

Create a file called drupal.bat

@php "%~dp0drupal.phar" %*

Here's the full list of steps I took:

php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal.phar
added installation location to the global PATH
created a drupal.bat file in the same directory as drupal.phar. drupal.bat contains: @php "%~dp0drupal.phar" %*

Now you can call >drupal from any location. I would upvote @Nate's answer, but this is a new account.

if you have php and composer all setup make sure you're in your drupal root folder..open powershell (anyother cli) and do '

composer require drupal/console

'after this add. 'C:\<path to your drupalwebsite root folder>\vendor\bin' to your paths Environment variables

and you have composer installed: Remember to install and add composer to path variables for every local drupal installation.
