Hi,
I installed all (node, ruby, git bash) on my windows machine without any problems.
also the creation with foundation-apps new project name works I get a folder with all files and dir (also build dir).
I run foundation-apps watch and git shows me:
Patrick@PATRICKHP ~
$ cd trekkerr
Patrick@PATRICKHP ~/trekkerr
$ foundation-apps watch
> foundation-apps-template@1.1.0 start c:\Users\Patrick\trekkerr
> gulp

Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsDo you have XAMPP or another local server environment installed? If it is XAMPP, you have to have your project located in the htdocs folder in the XAMPP folder.

40,496 Pointsfirst off all, thanks Ted for taking the time,
lets see if I understood Guil right, around min 3 he is talking about that foundation-watch command is building a server up, so I thought, we don't need a extra server environment. I am wrong?
But ok I put folder in my xmp dir and run the same command,
Patrick@PATRICKHP /c/xmp/htdocs/foundation-apps/trekker
$ foundation-apps watch
> foundation-apps-template@1.1.0 start c:\xmp\htdocs\foundation-apps\trekker
> gulp
[17:50:49] Using gulpfile c:\xmp\htdocs\foundation-apps\trekker\gulpfile.js
[17:50:49] Starting 'build'...
[17:50:49] Starting 'clean'...

[17:50:51] Finished 'copy' after 2.54 s

[17:50:52] Finished 'uglify' after 11 μs
[17:50:52] Finished 'sass' after 2.62 s
[17:50:52] Starting 'copy:templates'...
[17:50:52] Finished 'copy:templates' after 36 ms
[17:50:52] Finished 'build' after 3.75 s
[17:50:52] Starting 'server'...
[17:50:53] Webserver started at http://localhost:8079
[17:50:53] Finished 'server' after 770 ms
[17:50:53] Starting 'default'...
[17:50:53] Finished 'default' after 44 ms
still under http://localhost:8079 shows me error message, But if I go to http://localhost/Foundation-Apps/trekker/build/#!/ there it comes, so for mac we dont need a extra server envirement but for win, I think good to know.
I will progress further with the curse and let you know if this approach is working.
But thanks again Ted, greatful for that.

40,496 PointsSo far so good,
I finished stage 1, and everything worked like Guil shows in the video.
Just had to put the foundation app into my xmp/hdocs directory and access the finished app under ** http://localhost/app_folder_created/build/ **
And also change the dir in gitbash terminal to location for the foundation ap folder to run the foundation-app watch command.
thanks agin Ted,
