Published install instructions for PanHandler are for MAC and Linux systems.  I run Windows.  Here is how I installed PanHandler on my Windows 10 system.

Install Docker for Windows from the Docker Hub -- https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

     I’m at Docker Engine v19.3.5

Once Docker is installed and after your system has rebooted, open Docker from the systray.

My Docker settings:  (Sorry, screenshots would not paste)

General 

1. Check
   1. Start Docker Desktop when you log in
2. accept defaults

Resources

1. accept defaults 
   1. 2 CPUs; 2 GB Memory; 1 GB Swap; Disk image is 64 GB

Command Line

1. enable experimental features

Kubernetes is unchanged. 

Execute “Apply & Restart” lower right.

Make sure Docker is running by checking lower left of window.

Download and install Git Bash.  Git Bash is an application for Microsoft Windows environments which provides an emulation layer for a Git command line experience. It is possible to turn on the Windows Subsystem for linux (WSL) but I used Git Bash.

Use Git Bash (or WSL) to run the PanHandler setup CLI per the setup instructions -- https://panhandler.readthedocs.io/en/master/running.html#quickstart

         curl -s -k -L http://bit.ly/2xui5gM | bash

 Output from the CLI command should include no errors and should look like this …

$ curl -s -k -L http://bit.ly/2xui5gM | bash
