• 1 The install shell script in the installation guide just downloads a (piled) python file which you can probably just download by hand and use in a python interpreter on windows. This also means that the whole process (starting with the installer script) should work in cygwin. – l4mpi Commented Sep 15, 2012 at 10:23

This is what I did to get Parse. Cloud Code running on Windows 8.

• Install Python 2.7 (parse don't tell you this)

• Install Git for windows (Msysgit)

• Run 'Git Bash' as Admin, which will give you a bash style mand line.

• Make sure Python is working in the Git Bash... python

• From here you can follow the Parse instructions, but remove 'sudo from the mand they give you:

  curl -s https://www.parse./downloads/cloud_code/installer.sh | /bin/bash

From here it worked for me.

We released an official version of the mand line tools for Windows last week. Check it out at http://blog.parse./2012/10/25/parse-mand-line-tools-available-for-windows/
