For those using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) please refer to our Linux specific instructions instead.
1. System Dependencies
You'll need to install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ build tools. Download the installer here, and then run it. When it asks you what packages you would like to install, select C++ Build Tools and make sure the Windows SDK is selected.
This is a big download (over 1GB) and takes the most time, so go grab a coffee. You may need to uninstall the 2017 version of the build tools if you have them. There are reports of Tauri not working with both the 2017 and 2019 versions installed.2. Node.js Runtime and Package Manager
Node.js (npm included)
We recommend using nvm-windows to manage your Node.js runtime. It allows you to easily switch versions and update Node.js.
Then run the following from an Administrative PowerShell and press Y when prompted:
# BE SURE YOU ARE IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE PowerShell!
nvm install latest
nvm use {{latest}} # Replace with your latest downloaded version
This will install the most recent version of Node.js with npm.
Optional Node.js Package Manager
You may want to use an alternative to npm:
3. Rustc and Cargo Package Manager
Now you will need to install Rust. The easiest way to do this is to use rustup, the official installer.
Download and install the proper variant for your computer's architecture.
4. Install WebView2
WebView2 is pre-installed in Windows 11.Finally, you will need to install WebView2. The best way to do this is to download and run the Evergreen Bootstrapper from this page.
If you have problems of any kind after following these instructions, we recommend that you reboot your computer before developing a Tauri project to ensure that everything works as expected.Continue
