## Installing on Windows
|
|
|
|
64-bit Windows 10.0.17763 or later is required to run WezTerm; running on
|
|
earlier versions of Windows is not possible, as WezTerm requires [Pseudo
|
|
Console support that was first released in Windows
|
|
10.0.17763](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/).
|
|
|
|
You can download a setup.exe style installer to guide the installation
|
|
(requires admin privileges) or a simple zip file and manage the files for
|
|
yourself (no special privileges required).
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ windows_exe_stable }}" class="btn">Windows (setup.exe)</a>
|
|
<a href="{{ windows_exe_nightly }}" class="btn">Nightly Windows (setup.exe)</a>
|
|
|
|
WezTerm is available in a setup.exe style installer; the installer is produced
|
|
with Inno Setup and will install wezterm to your program files directory and
|
|
register that location in your PATH environment. The installer can be run
|
|
as a GUI to guide you through the install, but also offers the [standard
|
|
Inno Setup command line options](https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline)
|
|
to configure/script the installation process.
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ windows_zip_stable }}" class="btn">Windows (zip)</a>
|
|
<a href="{{ windows_zip_nightly }}" class="btn">Nightly Windows (zip)</a>
|
|
|
|
WezTerm is also available in a simple zip file that can be extracted and
|
|
run from anywhere, including a flash drive for a portable/relocatable
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
1. Download <a href="{{ windows_zip_stable }}">Release</a>
|
|
2. Extract the zipfile and double-click `wezterm.exe` to run the UI
|
|
3. Configuration instructions can be [found here](../config/files.html)

### For `winget` users
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to use the command line to manage installing software,
|
|
then you may wish to try [winget](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#installing-the-client).
|
|
`winget` is installed as part of the [App Installer](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1)
|
|
that is available from the Microsoft Store.
|
|
|
|
Once you have `winget`, you can install wezterm like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
winget install wez.wezterm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and to later upgrade it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
winget upgrade wez.wezterm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### For `Scoop` users
|
|
|
|
Another option if you prefer to use the command line to manage installing
|
|
software, is [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/).
|
|
|
|
Wezterm is available from the "Extras" bucket and once you have installed
|
|
scoop itself can be installed like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
scoop bucket add extras
|
|
scoop install wezterm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
