# How to build browser for Windows
|
||
|
|
Many of the build scripts are bash scripts and not natively invokable in Windows. To solve this, you can build the project using Git Bash.
|
||
|
|
1. Install [Git & Git Bash for Windows](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
||
|
|
2. Install Node v16.x (latest version 17.x does not work due to issue with crypto package)
|
||
|
|
3. Clone this repo
|
||
|
|
4. From the root of this repo, run `sh` to launch a bash shell
|
||
|
|
5. From inside the bash shell, run `yarn install`
|
||
|
|
6. From still inside the shell, run `yarn start:browser`
|
||
|
|
7. Open your browser to `localhost:3001`

## rsync: command not found
|
||
|
|
If you run into this error, you will need to install the rsync binary to Git Bash. Follow the [directions here](https://prasaz.medium.com/add-rsync-to-windows-git-bash-f42736bae1b3). When you get to the final step - installing the libxxhash dll - rename the dll from `msys-xxhash-0.8.0.dll` to `msys-xxhash-0.dll`
