Windows Installation
Cookietemple exceeds the standard windows path length limit of 260 characters. In order to correctly install cookietemple the registry has to be adapted. To open the registry editor run:
$ regedit
in your command prompt or directly open it through windows search bar.
Consider backing up your current registry state as changes in the registry can always cause problems resulting in your OS not running correctly. You can either export the complete registry by selecting File > Export … and setting the Export Range flag to ‘All’ or choose to export only selected branches.
Next find the key ‘LongPathsEnabled’ under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
and change its ‘Value Data’ from ‘0’ to ‘1’.
Click ‘OK’ and close regedit. Continue installing cookietemple.
