I was kindly asked to create a tutorial/documentation on how to run papermerge on windows.
Well, I never done that... And I don't see it as necessary. However, just as proof of concept will try that :).

Tesseract can be installed using Chocolatey; this might be the easiest way. This installs the alpha version of v5 right now.

The website starts, but errors when I try to upload anything. Following that I ended up here.

To provide Windows support, it may be helpful to use Python libraries where possible, rather than assuming command line programs are available (see https://github.com/papermerge/mglib/issues/1 for one such example).

To be honest, I don't use Windows platform - it is not that I don't like it - I just don't have access to one! Installing a windows instance and handling it is just too much for me (apart from licensing issues).
Papermerge DMS is designed to run on Unix compatible OS (Linux flavour or probably Mac OS).
I close this ticket as I find it irrelevant.
