    13  # Get the required software for Windows
    14  
    15  This page explains how to get the software you need to use a  a Windows Server
    16  2012 or Windows 8 machine for Docker development. Before you begin contributing
    17  you must have:
    18  
    19  - a GitHub account
    20  - Git for Windows (msysGit)
    21  - TDM-GCC, a compiler suite for Windows
    22  - MinGW (tar and xz)
    23  - Go language
    24  
    25  > **Note**: This installation procedure refers to the `C:\` drive. If you system's main drive
    26  is `D:\` you'll need to substitute that in where appropriate in these
    27  instructions.
    28  
    29  ### Get a GitHub account
    30  
    31  To contribute to the Docker project, you will need a <a
    32  href="https://github.com" target="_blank">GitHub account</a>. A free account is
    33  fine. All the Docker project repositories are public and visible to everyone.
    34  
    35  You should also have some experience using both the GitHub application and `git`
    36  on the command line. 
    37  
    38  ## Install Git for Windows
    39  
    40  Git for Windows includes several tools including msysGit, which is a build
    41  environment. The environment contains the tools you need for development such as
    42  Git and a Git Bash shell.
    43  
    44  1. Browse to the [Git for Windows](https://msysgit.github.io/) download page.
    45  
    46  2. Click **Download**.
    47  
    48  	Windows prompts you to save the file to your machine.
    49  
    50  3. Run the saved file.
    51  
    52  	The system displays the **Git Setup** wizard.
    53

    55  
    56  5. Click **Finish** when you are done.
    57  
    58  ## Installing TDM-GCC
    59  
    60  TDM-GCC is a compiler suite for Windows. You'll use this suite to compile the
    61  Docker Go code as you develop.
    62  
    63  1. Browse to
    64     [tdm-gcc download page](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).
    65  
    66  2. Click on the latest 64-bit version of the package.
    67  
    68  	Windows prompts you to save the file to your machine
    69  
    70  3. Set up the suite by running the downloaded file.
    71  
    72  	The system opens the **TDM-GCC Setup** wizard.
    73  	
    74  4. Click **Create**.
    75  
    76  5. Click the **Next** button to move through the wizard and accept all the defaults.
    77  
    78  6. Click **Finish** when you are done.
    79  
    80  
    81  ## Installing MinGW (tar and xz)
    82  
    83  MinGW is a minimalist port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). In this
    84  procedure, you first download and install the MinGW installation manager. Then,
    85  you use the manager to install the `tar` and `xz` tools from the collection.
    86  
    87  1. Browse to MinGW 
    88     [SourceForge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/).
    89  
    90  2. Click **Download**.
    91  
    92  	 Windows prompts you to save the file to your machine
    93  
    94  3. Run the downloaded file.
    95  
    96     The system opens the **MinGW Installation Manager Setup Tool**
    97  
    98  4. Choose **Install**  install the MinGW Installation Manager.
    99  
   100  5. Press **Continue**.
   101  
   102  	The system installs and then opens the MinGW Installation Manager.
   103  	
   104  6. Press **Continue** after the install completes to open the manager.
   105  
   106  7. Select **All Packages > MSYS Base System** from the left hand menu.
   107  
   108  	The system displays the available packages.
   109  
   110  8. Click on the the **msys-tar bin** package and choose **Mark for Installation**.
   111  
   112  9. Click on the **msys-xz bin** package and choose **Mark for Installation**.
   113    
   114  10. Select **Installation > Apply Changes**, to install the selected packages.
   115  
   116  	The system displays the **Schedule of Pending Actions Dialog**.
   117  
   118      ![windows-mingw](/project/images/windows-mingw.png)
   119      
   120  11. Press **Apply**
   121  
   122  	MingGW installs the packages for you.
   123  
   124  12. Close the dialog and the MinGW Installation Manager.
   125  
   126  
   127  ## Set up your environment variables
   128  
   129  You'll need to add the compiler to your `Path` environment variable. 
   130  
   131  1. Open the **Control Panel**.
   132  
   133  2. Choose **System and Security > System**. 
   134  
   135  3. Click the **Advanced system settings** link in the sidebar.
   136  
   137  	The system opens the **System Properties** dialog.
   138  
   139  3. Select the **Advanced** tab.
   140  
   141  4. Click **Environment Variables**. 
   142  
   143  	The system opens the **Environment Variables dialog** dialog.
   144  
   145  5. Locate the **System variables** area and scroll to the **Path**
   146     variable.
   147  
   148      ![windows-mingw](/project/images/path_variable.png)
   149  
   150  6. Click **Edit** to edit the variable (you can also double-click it).
   151  
   152  	The system opens the **Edit System Variable** dialog.
   153  
   154  7. Make sure the `Path` includes `C:\TDM-GCC64\bin` 
   155  
   156  	 ![include gcc](/project/images/include_gcc.png)
   157  	 
   158  	 If you don't see `C:\TDM-GCC64\bin`, add it.
   159  		
   160  8. Press **OK** to close this dialog.
   161  	
   162  9. Press **OK** twice to close out of the remaining dialogs.
   163  
   164  ## Install Go and cross-compile it
   165  
   166  In this section, you install the Go language. Then, you build the source so that it can cross-compile for `linux/amd64` architectures.
   167  
   168  1. Open [Go Language download](http://golang.org/dl/) page in your browser.
   169  
   170  2. Locate and click the latest `.msi` installer.
   171  
   172  	The system prompts you to save the file.
   173  
   174  3. Run the installer.
   175  
   176  	The system opens the **Go Programming Language Setup** dialog.
   177  
   178  4. Select all the defaults to install.
   179  
   180  5. Press **Finish** to close the installation dialog.
   181  
   182  6. Start a command prompt.
   183  
   184  7. Change to the Go `src` directory.
   185  
   186  		cd c:\Go\src 
   187  
   188  8. Set the following Go variables
   189  
   190  		c:\Go\src> set GOOS=linux
   191  		c:\Go\src> set GOARCH=amd64
   192       
   193  9. Compile the source.
   194  
   195  		c:\Go\src> make.bat
   196      
   197  	Compiling the source also adds a number of variables to your Windows environment.
   198  
   199  ## Get the Docker repository
   200  
   201  In this step, you start a Git `bash` terminal and get the Docker source code from
   202  Github. 
   203  
   204  1. Locate the **Git Bash** program and start it.
   205  
   206  	Recall that **Git Bash** came with the Git for Windows installation.  **Git
   207  	Bash** just as it sounds allows you to run a Bash terminal on Windows.
   208  	
   209  	![Git Bash](/project/images/git_bash.png)
   210  
   211  2. Change to the root directory.
   212  
   213  		$ cd /c/
   214  				
   215  3. Make a `gopath` directory.
   216  
   217  		$ mkdir gopath
   218  
   219  4. Go get the `docker/docker` repository.
   220  
   221  		$ go.exe get github.com/docker/docker package github.com/docker/docker
   222          imports github.com/docker/docker
   223          imports github.com/docker/docker: no buildable Go source files in C:\gopath\src\github.com\docker\docker
   224  
   225  	In the next steps, you create environment variables for you Go paths.
   226  	
   227  5. Open the **Control Panel** on your system.
   228  
   229  6. Choose **System and Security > System**. 
   230  
   231  7. Click the **Advanced system settings** link in the sidebar.
   232  
   233  	The system opens the **System Properties** dialog.
   234  
   235  8. Select the **Advanced** tab.
   236  
   237  9. Click **Environment Variables**. 
   238  
   239  	The system opens the **Environment Variables dialog** dialog.
   240  
   241  10. Locate the **System variables** area and scroll to the **Path**
   242     variable.
   243  
   244  11. Click **New**.
   245  
   246  	Now you are going to create some new variables. These paths you'll create in the next procedure; but you can set them now.
   247  
   248  12. Enter `GOPATH` for the **Variable Name**.
   249  
   250  13. For the **Variable Value** enter the following:
   251   
   252  		C:\gopath;C:\gopath\src\github.com\docker\docker\vendor
   253  		
   254  	
   255  14. Press **OK** to close this dialog.
   256  
   257  	The system adds `GOPATH` to the list of **System Variables**.
   258  	
   259  15. Press **OK** twice to close out of the remaining dialogs.
