Windows

Native Windows support is on the roadmap, not available today. Nothing here — the venv/pip toolchain, systemd — has been built or tested against native Windows, and there’s currently no native install path.

The supported way to run this on Windows today is WSL2 — a real Linux environment running under Windows, not a compatibility shim. Once WSL2 is installed and you have a Linux distribution running inside it (Ubuntu is the default and the one this is most tested against), follow Linux unmodified from inside your WSL2 shell — every command on that page, venv/pip/systemd included, applies exactly as written.

If you’d rather avoid WSL2 entirely, Docker Desktop for Windows (which itself runs on WSL2 under the hood) gets you to Docker’s path without manually setting up a Linux shell yourself.

  • Linux — the instructions this page points you to run inside WSL2.
  • Docker — the container path, via Docker Desktop.
