In Windows it may be the easiest and most painless way to work with TinyOS via a virtual machine. This also applies to Linux (when you are afraid to screw your system or have other reasons not to install TinyOS directly)
This involves three distinct steps:
- Installing software to run a virtual machine . Virtual Box (available for both Windows and Linux) is a common choice, since its easy and free. VMWare is also a possibility.
- Install a OS that supports automatic TinyOS installation. The most tested choice is Ubuntu, but Debian or Mint should also be possible.
- Install TinyOS. With the two steps above done, you can just follow the easy way, which was the whole point of setting up a VM.
