Manual Install on Windows

[funkindy]

Hi!
Is there a way to install REP manually on Windows environment?
When installing dependencies i get an error when installing gnureadline:

Error: this module is not meant to work on Windows (try pyreadline instead)

Is there a way to use pyreadline for windows uoosers?

Manually installed all the requirements. For now everything works fine except TMVAClassifier, on windows there is a problem with python standard os.setsid which is unix function afaik.

There is no CI for windows, so some things may fail to work.

Indeed, turns out it is *nix specific.

Got it.

Hey @funkindy,

@tata-antares digged into this question, there is currently no way to use TMVAClassifier / TMVARegressor on windows.

...because root_numpy can't be even installed on windows:
scikit-hep/root_numpy#179

...because ROOT does not provide root-config for windows.

ROOT community seems to be not interested in supporting windows (e.g. I see no windows options for ROOT6), so the only option I can propose is using docker image.
