Installing on Windows
===================================

pygit2 expects to find the libgit2 installed files in the directory specified
in the ``LIBGIT2`` environment variable.
`pygit2` for Windows is packaged into wheels and can be easily
installed with `pip`:

In addition, make sure that libgit2 is build in "__cdecl" mode.
The following recipe shows you how to do it, assuming you're working
from a bash shell:
pip install pygit2

For development it is also possible to build `pygit2` with `libgit2`
from sources. `libgit2` location is specified by the ``LIBGIT2``
environment variable. `libgit2` should be built in "__cdecl" mode.
The following recipe shows you how to do it from a bash shell:

.. code-block:: sh

$ export LIBGIT2=C:/Dev/libgit2
$ wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.26.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzf v0.26.0.tar.gz
$ cd libgit2-0.26.0/
$ git clone --depth=1 -b maint/v0.26 https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
$ cd libgit2
$ cmake . -DSTDCALL=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$LIBGIT2 -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"
$ cmake --build . --config release --target install
$ ctest -v

At this point, you're ready to execute the generic pygit2 installation
steps described above.
