1. In an empty directory, check out:

$ git clone -bwindows_fixes https://github.com/rprichard/tty.js.git
$ git clone -bwindows_fixes https://github.com/rprichard/pty.js.git
$ (cd pty.js/deps && rm -fr winpty)
$ (cd pty.js/deps && git clone -bnodejs_fix https://github.com/rprichard/winpty.git)

2. Establish an npm link from your user-global repo to your pty.js:

$ (cd pty.js && npm link)

3. Establish an npm link from tty.js to the user-global pty.js link:

$  (cd tty.js && npm link pty.js)

4. Run npm install to compile everything:

$ (cd tty.js && npm install)

5. Run npm (make sure you're not in a Cygwin shell, because Cygwin will define the SHELL variable):

$ cd tty.js
$ node bin/tty.js
[tty.js] Listening on port 8080.

6. Connect to localhost:8080 and click "Open Terminal".

PS: The "npm link" creates a JUNCTION inside your home directory, e.g.:

C:\Users\rprichard>cd \Users\rprichard\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

C:\Users\rprichard\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is A4DA-B145
