git-annex has recently been ported to Windows!
2013-05-13 17:46:03 +00:00
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
* First, [install git](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
* Then, [install git-annex](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/current/)
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
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
2013-12-09 19:07:11 +00:00
current status.
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
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
should end with "All tests ok".

## 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.)
