You will need to have Java, git, and Node.js in a working state. They must be searchable from your PATH.
Lovefield uses node.js for various development tools. Due to the ES6 APIs used, version of installed node.js must be greater than 0.12.
Windows Command Prompt has a limitation of command-line length, which will cause Closure compiler failure since the compiler requires a command-line way longer than that limit. The solution is to install a command line utility, such as TCC/LE, to overcome that limitation.
