git-annex has recently been ported to Windows!
This port is in an alpha state; many things will not work. See
[[todo/windows_support]] for current status. Note especially that
git-annex always uses [[direct_mode]] on Windows.
* 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

To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install
the Haskell Platform and Cygwin. When installing Cygwin, select
to install gcc, make, rsync, and ssh. Then, within Cygwin, git-annex
can be compiled following the instructions for [[using cabal|cabal]].

Once git-annex is built, the NullSoft installer can be built, as follows:
<pre>
cabal install ncis
ghc --make Build/NullSoftInstaller.hs
Build/NullSoftInstaller.exe
