git-annex now does Windows!
|
|
|
|
* First, [install git for Windows](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
Important: **Get the 32 bit version not the 64 bit version.**
|
|
(Note that msysgit is no longer supported.)
|
|
* 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 also usable. There are some known
|
|
problems and parts that don't work. See [[todo/windows_support]] for
|
|
current status.
|
|
|
|
To verify 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 passed".
|
|

|
## 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 and Cygwin. Use Cygwin to install these packages:
|
|
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 NullSoft
|
|
installer system.)
