How to Install DREBS on Windows 10

DREBS, which stands for "Disaster Recovery for Elastic Block Store," is a tool that can create EBS snapshots and backup Amazon Web Service instances. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of DREBS on Windows 10 using Git Bash.

Prerequisites

Windows 10 operating system
Git Bash installed
AWS CLI installed and configured

Installation Steps

Open Git Bash by searching for it in the Start menu or by pressing Win + X and selecting "Git Bash."
Change to the directory where you want to install DREBS by running the following command:
```
cd /path/to/installation/directory
```
Clone the DREBS repository from Github by running the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git
```
Once the repository is cloned, change to the drebs directory by running the following command:
```
cd drebs
```
Next, DREBS requires python and pip. If you have not installed them yet, please follow this guide to install Python and PIP.
After Python and PIP are installed, create a virtual environment for DREBS to isolate its dependencies. In the drebs directory, run the following command:
```
python -m virtualenv venv
```
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
```
source venv/Scripts/activate
```
Install the Python dependencies for DREBS by running the following command:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Copy the config.yml.example file to config.yml by running the following command:
```
cp config.yml.example config.yml
```
Open the config.yml file in a text editor and enter the necessary information about your AWS account, such as access key, secret access key, and region.
Finally, test the installation by running the following command:

python drebs.py --version

The console should display the version number of DREBS if the installation was successful.

You have successfully installed DREBS on your Windows 10 computer. You can now use DREBS to create EBS backups or snapshots for your Amazon Web Service environment.
