OJS installation on Windows with plugin deployment

Hi @teecellc

Sorry for short answer since I have limited time. Please, could you look at that discussion because it looks very similar to your issue,
Regards,

The tar command is not available. Please correctly configure it in your "config.inc.php"

For future reference, I’d like to add a simple solution to get tar working on Windows 10, as I ran into this problem myself with running OJS 3.2.0.2 on XAMPP 7.4.5-0-VC15. Windows 10 does include tar since build 17063 and therefore you just have to add the escaped path to your config.inc.php. Replace tar = /bin/tar with: tar = C:\\Windows\\System32\\tar.exe This worked for me and now I’m able to install plugins from the Plugin Gallery.
