Answer 1

This is what I did to get Parse.com Cloud Code running on Windows 8.

• Install Python 2.7 (parse don't tell you this)

• Install Git for windows (Msysgit)

• Run 'Git Bash' as Admin, which will give you a bash style command line.

• Make sure Python is working in the Git Bash... python

• From here you can follow the Parse instructions, but remove 'sudo from the command they give you:

  curl -s https://www.parse.com/downloads/cloud_code/installer.sh | /bin/bash

From here it worked for me.
