I tried installing ethnode as an alternative to ganache on a 32bit windows OS but it did not finish installing. I have pasted details below:

Ganache does not support 32bit OS and if ethnode will support it then that will be nice.

You help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @besiwims, thanks for taking time creating this issue. I've tested ethnode on GNU/Linux and Mac and it works properly. Windows is not supported at the moment. I created #12 to track this issue. I don't have much time to work on this at the moment, so feel free to take it over if you wish.

If you run Windows 10, you can install a GNU/Linux subsystem, and run ethnode from there.

Ganache does not support 32bit OS and if ethnode will support it then that will be nice.

ethnode wraps geth, as far as I can see geth runs on windows, so ethnode should work as well.

I'll close this for now, feel free to reopen it if you need to :)
