Solving the problem of installing GitHub for Windows with Amazon Web Services S3

Found a quick and free way to solve the GitHub for Desktop for Windows network installation problem.



The bottom line is that during installation in Windows, GitHub for Desktop uses S3 Amazon services, and ClickOnce technology, however during installation I often had disconnections and hangs during which the installation continued with an error.



And the solution was found!



On toster.ru/q/2553, it is recommended to use handycache.ru

')

So, you need:



0) c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts

1) HandyCache

(optional, I needed) 2) FreeDownload Manager



0) write in c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts IP addresses of Amazon Web Services S3 CD servers:

54.231.80.144 github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com

54.231.80.144 s3-1-w.amazonaws.com



1) install a caching proxy HandyCache

2) increase the HandyCache cache to 1024 MB

3) configure the default browser to use the local proxy localhost: 8080

4) when launching the installer, GitHubSetup.exe, in the HandCache window, all received files in the OK status and 100% upload, select and add to the cache using the context menu. If especially long files are not downloaded 100%, you can use the Free Download Manager, and copy them to the local folder of the HandyCache cache



5) Profit!
