git-annex now does Windows!
* First, [install msysgit](http://git-scm.com/downloads) (msysgit 1.9 is needed)
_Be sure to tell the installer to add git to the PATH._
That is, select "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt"
* 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/).
This daily build now needs git for windows, not msysgit.

## 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
Note that git from Cygwin is able to clone git-annex's git repository;
Regular git for Windows cannot due to some characters in filenames.
(To build the git-annex installer, you also need to install the NullSoft
installer system.)
