Can't run on Windows 8.1 x64

See original GitHub issue

Hi!

I saw this thread and tried all from it: https://github.com/visionmedia/debug/issues/58

My attempt:

Артем@SOGL c:\projects\loopback-zero-to-hero
$ set DEBUG=*

Артем@SOGL c:\projects\loopback-zero-to-hero
$ DEBUG=server:boot:* node .
"DEBUG" is not an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.

Артем@SOGL c:\projects\loopback-zero-to-hero
$

Also tried this from README.md:

set DEBUG=*,-not_this

How to make it work on Windows?

Hi inside your file.js

process.env.DEBUG = "*,-not_this"; // <--add this line

var dbug = require('debug')('app');
dbug('Hello, %s!', 'world');
....

then you don’t need “set DEBUG=*” option

Worked for me. 👷

Still having the same issues on Win10. I have tried every method mentioned here (and elsewhere), but nothing seems to work, I still get the message: “‘DEBUG’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” Gist link which contains the npm complete log: https://gist.github.com/2beens/871a90f07b8a6a1e83d5c612efeda661
