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. Note especially that git-annex always uses [[direct_mode]]
on Windows.
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/).
* [download](https://qa.nest-initiative.org/view/msysGit/job/msysgit-git-annex-assistant-test/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/git-annex/git-annex-installer.exe) ([build logs](https://qa.nest-initiative.org/view/msysGit/job/msysgit-git-annex-assistant-test/))
## 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, and gnupg. To build the git-annex installer,
you also need to install the NulSoft installer system.
cabal update
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ gitannex
cd gitannex
build
