git-annex has recently been ported to Windows!
|
|
|
|
* First, [install git](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
* Then, [install git-annex](https://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.
|
|
|
|
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".
|
|
|
|
## autobuilds

|
A daily build is also available, thanks to Yury V. Zaytsev and
|
|
[NEST](http://nest-initiative.org/).

## 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 gnupg
|
|
|
|
Once the prerequisites are installed, run:
|
|
|
|
cabal update
|
|
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ gitannex
|
|
cd gitannex
|
|
build
|
|
|
|
(To build the git-annex installer, you also need to install the NulSoft
|
|
installer system.)
