Prerequisite
First, you need to download and install Python 2.7 to finish the following steps.
Then, you should add the path "[cocos2d-x root]\tools\cocos2d-console\bin\" into your system environment path, don't forget to add a ';' as delimiter. For example, my bin path is "F:\source\cocos2d-x\tools\cocos2d-console\bin", and I will add it to the end of PATH as following:
(Note: The [cocos2d-x root] is the path where you unzip your downloaded cocos2d-x package)
Open cmd and change current path to the bin path, and input the cmd "cocos -h", if it outputs the help message, congratuation, you have added the right path in the environment variables. We can create a project by using cocos2d-console commands now.
Type "cocos new -h", and you will get the following result :
Now it's time to use the command to create a new empty project.
For example, I want to create a cpp project, then I can type "cocos new MyGame -p com.MyCompany.AwesomeGame -l cpp -d F:/MyProject". This command will create a cpp project under F:/MyProject directory. Here is the screenshot:
