Is this functional on windows?

[mitchmeyer1]

There is no instructions about windows installation, only Linux. Is it even possible?

The basic ruby library should work on any platform, although I haven't tried it on Windows, so it's possible will be some modifications needed.

The main difference will be the database import scripts in /build, which are Linux bash scripts. Those won't work on Windows, so you'd have to write your own method for importing the raw TIGER/Line data into a SQLite database of the proper structure.

The small REST API is written for Sinatra, so you'd have to use the Thin webserver to run it locally, but that shouldn't be a problem.
