Checkout esys-particle-win-branch

Hello Matt:

"checkout" is a Bazaar command ("bzr checkout ..."). But I notice that the document ends up using "branch" instead for the example command-line input, which I dare say is what confused you:

bzr branch lp:esys-particle/esys-particle-win

Although there are some subtle differences between "checkout" and "branch", both result in a copy of the ESyS-Particle code being downloaded to your folder. I personally prefer "bzr checkout ..." because this allows me to run "bzr update" later on to update my copy of the code with the latest revision in the repository. I have not been able to do this with "bzr branch ..." Someone else may know how.

Also, if you have Bazaar installed, in a terminal you can run "bzr help" to learn the basic Bazaar commands.

Regards,

Vince

Thanks for your help Vince,

I tried to checkout the code (with Pageant running), and I get the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bazaar>bzr checkout lp:esys-particle/esys-particle-win
Connected (version 2.0, client Twisted)
Authentication (publickey) successful!
Secsh channel 1 opened.
bzr: ERROR: No such file: u'C:/Program Files (x86)/Bazaar/esys-particle-win': [E rror 2] The system cannot find the file specified: u'C:/Program Files (x86)/Bazaar/esys-particle-win'

What am I missing/ have I forgotten a step?
Thanks,
Matthew

I'm unsure what is wrong. From the error message it appears that bzr is looking for esys-particle-win in the working folder rather than on Launchpad (lp:esys-particle/). Can you confirm that you completed Step 6 at https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair under "Windows (PuTTY)?" Unfortunately I have no experience with MS Windows in a Bazaar or ESyS-Particle context. Does someone else have an idea what is wrong here?

Thanks Dion and Vince for your help. I've got it sorted by following the howto guide.

Cheers,

Matt
