|
|
* First, [install git](http://git-scm.com/downloads) (msysgit 1.9 or newer is needed)
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex. The assistant and webapp are still in an early state.
|
|
|
|
|
See [[todo/windows_support]] for current status.

The autobuilder is not currently able to run the test suite, so
|
|
|
|
|
testing git-annex on Windows is up to you! To check 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
|
2014-02-04 19:13:25 +00:00
|
|
|
should end with "All tests passed".

## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install
|
2013-12-09 19:57:41 +00:00
|
|
|
the Haskell Platform, Mingw, and Cygwin. Use Cygwin to install:
|
|
|
|
|
gcc rsync git wget ssh gnupg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the prerequisites are installed, run:
|
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-12-06 00:40:28 +00:00
|
|
|
cabal update
|
2013-12-07 17:06:01 +00:00
|
|
|
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ gitannex
|
2013-12-06 00:40:28 +00:00
|
|
|
cd gitannex
|
|
|
|
|
build
|
2013-12-09 19:57:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(To build the git-annex installer, you also need to install the NulSoft
|
|
|
|
|
installer system.)
