|
|
|
* First, [install Git for Windows](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
2015-10-26 17:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Important: **Get the 32 bit version not the 64 bit version.**

(Note that msysgit is no longer supported.)
|
2013-06-26 23:21:19 +00:00
|
|
|
* Then, [install git-annex](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/current/)
|

This port is now in reasonably good shape for command-line use of
|
2014-06-17 18:34:51 +00:00
|
|
|
git-annex. The assistant and webapp are also usable. There are some known
|
|
|
|
|
problems and parts that don't work. See [[todo/windows_support]] for
|
|
|
|
|
current status.

|
|
|
To verify that the build of git-annex works in your Windows system, you are
|
|
|
|
|
encouraged to run the test suite before using git-annex on real data. After
|
|
|
|
|
installation, run `git annex test`. There will be a lot of output; the
|
|
|
|
|
important thing is that it should end with "All tests passed".

## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install
|
2016-05-05 19:47:01 +00:00
|
|
|
[Git for Windows](http://git-scm.com/downloads), and
|
|
|
|
|
[Stack](http://haskellstack.org/).
|
2013-12-09 19:57:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-05-05 19:47:01 +00:00
|
|
|
You also need to install rsync and wget for windows.
|
|
|
|
|
They need to be linked with the same MINGW32 libraries that come with Git
|
|
|
|
|
for Windows. One way is to download them from
|
|
|
|
|
<https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/assets/>.
|
|
|
|
|
Put them somewhere in PATH.
|

|
|
|
|
2016-05-05 19:47:01 +00:00
|
|
|
Then open Git Bash, [[clone git-annex|download]], and in
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex's source tree, run "stack build" to download and build
|
|
|
|
|
all dependencies and git-annex. "stack install" will install git-annex.

|
|
|
|
2014-12-03 18:54:52 +00:00
|
|
|
(To build the git-annex installer, you also need to install the NullSoft
|
2016-05-05 19:47:01 +00:00
|
|
|
installer system. The script `standalone/windows/build.sh` is
|
|
|
|
|
used to make the builds linked to above.)
