I have tried git pull to get latest and then went ahead by doing the complete process again but getting the same rake aborted message.

Aha my bad @sam .. not related.. your problem is here
`ln: failed to create symbolic link '/vagrant/public/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot': Protocol error`
Why is “vagrant” being referenced here? This is not an install, this is a development environment.

So what should be done, I am quite new to Discourse and trying to set it up on localhost to understand how it works.
What should I do with vagrant to fix this issue?

@techAPJ should we update the blog post? Perhaps have the blog post point to meta #howto topics?

It might take us some time to update the blog post. In the meanwhile try some other guides available here on meta?

I tried every tutorial which you mentioned but none worked for me on my Windows PC. Even searched Google for Rake Aborted issued and ground methods but those also didn’t worked.
Now, I am just waiting for your reply about the updated Blog post. 🙂

Hello, just wanted to know about any update on this matter?
Actually, we want to test Discourse to get our project on it as soon as possible.

I had varying degrees of success and problems installing Discourse on my Windows 10.
What - knock wood - has worked best so far is to
- install a virtual machine (currently I’m using VMware)
- create a guest using Ubuntu as the server
- follow the “howto vagrant ubuntu” instructions
I am far from being a sys op and any success I ever have tends to feel more because of luck than actual knowledge. But installing into Windows 10 was a lot more hassle for me than installing into Ubuntu

I have been working on more priority tasks, as I said earlier, it will take me some time to get to it.

In that case, I suggest you install Discourse on cloud following our official how-to:
[discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

for anyone who got here from google search and unable to get it working based on the above, this is what i have found to help solve this issue on windows 10:

> you need special rights to create symbolic links with windows (inside virtual machines), the right goes by “SeCreateSymbolicLink”. Administrator have this right by default. When you run vagrant up/ssh, you need to run it with a user that has this right. I avoided this error by starting a powershell as administrator (since I didn’t want to bother with granting rights to my user) and discourse is up and running
basically is just to run the cmd you’re using as administrator and run the rake command
