@adswa I would work this PR if you think it makes sense, what do you think about adding tests at each step ? |

Here you could mention the kind of correct answer you'd expect (instead of an "answer" like "command not found").
For example, something like "If you did everything right, typing python --version in the command prompt should show your installed Python version, like 'Python 3.x.y'."

We have a much more simplified way to install datalad/git-annex on windows. It no longer requires any manual installation of Python. I believe this PR can be closed for good. Thanks for the initiative! |

I think it would be good to add some tests for other steps.
Alternatively or in addition, one could have a debug section with the tests at the end ?
People tend to go to fast and make mistakes, debugging the installation makes little sense (starting over is simpler).
