Hi @roketman09, I've not tried installing on Windows yet.

What issues are you encountering?

Windows installation doesn't work. After investigation, Termion dependency doesn't support Windows.
Here is the error i have:

Ah dang! Thank you for doing this investigation, I'll add a note about Windows to the README.

@TimonPost commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2019):

@Rigellute this app can support windows very easily. TUI has the crossterm backend which is made to support cross-platform. Although... their implementation uses crossterm 0.9 and 0.12 is already out and they didn't even release my latest patch - done a few months ago - with 0.10 yet.

I tried to move this library over to crossterm just to experiment to how easy it was to swap termion. It was very easily. Please have a look at this fork.

However, I encountered two problems:

  1. Because TUI uses crossterm 0.9 your library has to support this old one as well.
  2. KeyEvent (replacement for Key) does not implement Copy however, this is going to be fixed in 0.12.2.

Point two is the only blocker, point 1 is not great but it isn't a blocker because a lot is changed since release 0.12.

I forgot to mention that you can run spotify-tui using the Windows Subsytem for Linux (which is what I've done).

However, natively supporting Windows would be much better for sure.

Now that a new release is out: can the github actions be adjusted to also build and publish for windows? Should i PR that?

@MCOfficer please do! I've been trying to work out how to create the windows binary from github actions and was going to ask for help.

So yes, please create a PR!
