# Windows
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
**Windows**:
|
|
|
|
You must be running 64 bit Windows 10, version 1703 or newer.
|
|
|
|
**Rustup**:
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in development.md, rustup must be installed. If you're on
|
|
ARM Windows, you must set the default target to x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
|
|
|
|
**Visual Studio**:
|
|
|
|
Install Visual Studio Community Edition from Microsoft. Once you've downloaded
|
|
the installer, open it, and select "Desktop Development with C++" on the left,
|
|
leaving the options shown on the right as is.
|
|
|
|
**MSYS**:
|
|
|
|
Install [msys2](https://www.msys2.org/) into the default folder location.
|
|
|
|
After installation completes, run msys2, and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pacman -S git rsync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit your PATH environmental variable and add c:\msys64\usr\bin to it, and
|
|
reboot.
|
|
|
|
If you have native Windows apps relying on Git, e.g. the PowerShell extension
|
|
[posh-git](https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git), you may want to install
|
|
[Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/) and put it on the path instead,
|
|
as msys Git may cause issues with them. You'll need to make sure rsync is
|
|
available some other way.
|
|
|
|
**Source folder**:
|
|
|
|
Anki's source files do not need to be in a specific location, but it's best to
|
|
avoid long paths, as they can cause problems. Spaces in the path may cause
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
## Audio
|
|
|
|
To play and record audio during development, mpv.exe and lame.exe must be on the path.
|
|
|
|
