|
* First, [install git](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
|
|
|
* Then, [install git-annex](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/current/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This port is in an early state. While it works well enough to use
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex, many things will not work. See [[todo/windows_support]] for
|
|
|
|
|
current status. Note especially that git-annex always uses [[direct_mode]]
|
|
|
|
|
on Windows.

## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install
|
|
|
|
|
the Haskell Platform, Mingw, and Cygwin. Use Cygwin to install
|
|
|
|
|
gcc, rsync, git, wget, ssh, and gpg.

|
|
|
There is a shell script `standalone/windows/build.sh` that can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to build git-annex. Note that this shell script cannot be run
|
|
|
|
|
in Cygwin; run it with the Mingw sh.
