Vagrant Box Add fails on windows about concourse-tutorial HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm hoping we can move everyone to the bosh create-env instructions. They are pretty lovely; and start to introduce you to using BOSH to maintain Concourse later on.

Perhaps you can try installing bosh via https://bosh.io/docs/cli-v2.html instructions.

Then try deploying Concourse to Virtualbox using:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/starkandwayne/concourse-tutorial/develop/manifests/concourse-lite.yml
bosh create-env manifests/concourse-lite.yml --state tmp/state.json

If this works, please follow along with the upgraded tutorials at https://concoursetutorial.com/ (will make this more public soon once I've finished upgrading tutorial instructions) and let me know.

If you have issues, then please report them and we'll get them fixed for you!

Hi,
Just wanted to point out that bosh create-env manifests/concourse-lite.yml --state tmp/state.json doesn't work on Windows, getting the following error:

Extracting release '.bosh\downloads\960545597eaba699eed28d96574acd5c2434a40f-361d4ca59030ec1af5f5ad61a31a9c0aa593e819':

I found the best way to get started was using docker using the instructions here: https://concourse.ci/docker-repository.html
Of course a little adaptation of the instructions were necessary for windows, but it was very straight-forward.

@choumarin do you remember what adaptation of the instructions were required? I'm happy to put something into the tutorial to help Windows people.

Since https://github.com/starkandwayne/concourse-tutorial/releases/tag/v3.10.0 we're moving towards docker-compose up for initial deployment, so I'll close this issue for now.
