‘Path too long’ when extracting Brooklyn on Windows

When trying to extract the Brooklyn binaries from the .zip distribution using Windows' built-in extraction utility, you may experience a ‘Path too long’ error. This is a due to a limitation of the in-built extraction utility. We recommend you use an alternative such as tar

  • which can be used with the .tar.gz distributable, or 7-Zip for the .zip distribution.
