I’ve not been Windows user for long time now, but I think you need a Gitbash console with admin perms to install it (some instructions here: https://github.com/maidsafe/sn_api/blob/master/sn_cli/README.md#windows), then you may need to open a new console so the CLI is found in the PATH, at that point you should be able to run the safe -V (note the white space there @scottefc86 ) command to confirm it installed and the right version
Yep give the above from @davidpbrown a try - also try pasting your commands and the terminal response in here & we’ll get you sorted

Is that really good advice?
It needs to be done for the install step I’m afraid. After that you don’t need to run as administrator (it’s all in the install guide)

I don’t think it is a good idea to run bash scripts in Windows at all.
Just an example.

So, I have created testcoins and a new key pair has been created.
Can/should i be able to send the test coins to my reward_public_key ?
I’ve tried but i get
Error: InvalidInput: Invalid Ed25519 public key bytes:
tried
safe keys transfer 999 --from {my new rich secret key} -to {my public reward key}
I guess my real question is, where is the balance from where fees are deducted from for uploading files and can i load it.

Hmm, maybe it is the key I need to link, rather than the wallet?
Would you mind trying to send here instead, please (my SafeKey associated with the wallet)? safe://hyryyyydkrxwt55eef54mwmufky11ni6d6ejs1wkgo9sd74sn8un1m61zhc
EDIT: It’s been a while since I played with the tokens! 
It’s saying on your terminal there that it couldn’t find where to add it to your shell profile and it gives you an export command to add yourself manually.
If you know where your shell profile is then add that export line, if you’re not sure you could probably just run that full export cmd in the terminal tab you are in & it should work there for now, but you would need to run it every time you opened a new terminal window/tab unless you manage to find where your shell profile file is.
You are using zsh so best to have a google to see how to add to your profile file for that
ID 0 above worked … I guess the ID does not matter if it says success.
Success. TX_ID: 1

The error is going now and saying success but when I close and reopen it says safe: command not found
Is it odd that balance request pauses a long while before asking the obvious question?.. it’s as if it’s querying the network without a key to work against first?
safe keys balance
#longpaws
Enter secret key corresponding to the SafeKey to query the balance from:
It looks like I now have 1000000 more coins? 
EDIT: Did you send that to my wallet address (I see the source address was bad in the code above)?
Trying to create a spendable wallet from existing test coin keys, when prompted for my private key it errors out…
Error: InvalidInput: Label is 64 chars, must be no more than 63:
Could this be a bug? a key is 64 chars…
Something with the wallets seems messed up. I cannot check the balance of my wallet using either my NRS or XOR-URL when doing
safe wallet balance safe://<address>
I assume this is related to the issue Traktion was having with people attempting to send funds to them. If we have to use the SafeKey, anyway, what is the point of the wallets at all?

I was able to transfer 3 coins to it as well, I’m getting the same error you shared when trying to transfer to the Wallet at safe://traktion, so something to research there. FYI, I’ve linked safe://bochaco directly to a SafeKey, that seems to be working fine.
