## Environment
3+
The RabbitMQ Windows installer is produced on Linux, together
4+
with the rest of the packages.
45

5-
Windows 8.1 using this `Vagrantfile`:
6-
7-
```
8-
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
9-
config.vm.box = "inclusivedesign/windows81-eval-x64"
10-
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
11-
v.gui = true
12-
end
13-
end
14-
```
15-
16-
Note that these steps should work on more recent versions of Windows as well.
17-
If you have issues using a newer version of Windows, please provide full
18-
details in a message to the
19-
[`rabbitmq-users`](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rabbitmq-users)

mailing list.

## Initial Steps
23-
24-
Bring up the VM and go through the process of updating Windows and (optionall)
25-
VirtualBox tools. You'll notice that the evaluation license is expired. Re-arm
26-
it by running this command via an administrative prompt:
27-
28-
```
29-
slmgr -rearm
30-
```
31-
32-
This part of the process will take a while as Windows is updated. Go make some
33-
coffee and check your email.

## Install Erlang and Elixir
36-
37-
Using Chocolatey is the easiest method to install the most recent version of
38-
Erlang and Elixir. Install Chocolatey [using these
39-
instructions](https://chocolatey.org/install#installing-chocolatey)
40-
([link](https://chocolatey.org/install#installing-chocolatey)), then install
41-
both Erlang and Elixir using this command from an *administrative* `cmd.exe` or
42-
Powershell terminal:
43-
44-
```
45-
choco install elixir which
46-
```
47-
48-
To confirm installation, open a new command prompt and run the following:
49-
50-
```
51-
erl -version
52-
elixir -v
53-
which erl
54-
which elixir
55-
```

## Install MSYS2 and NSIS
58-
59-
Chocolatey is also an easy way to install `msys2` and the NSIS install script
60-
builder. Run the following from an *administrative* command prompt:
61-
62-
```
63-
choco install msys2 nsis
64-
```
65-
66-
As a bonus, it will update your `msys2` installation for you during the initial
67-
install process.
68-
69-
## Install MSYS2 packages
70-
71-
Start up an `msys2` shell by running the following command (does not have to be
72-
admin):
73-
74-
```
75-
C:\tools\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd
76-
```
77-
78-
In that shell, install all of these dependencies. If you are prompted for
79-
input, just hit ENTER to choose the default:
80-
81-
```
82-
pacman -S --needed git make tar rsync python zip unzip dos2unix man
83-
```
