How to use it on Windows?

[kburnwall]

Hi, I am just a simple tech enthusiast. Found this project recently, how can I get it to run on windows, I only see the build steps for macos and linux? I would be grateful if you helped.

Also, I apologize for my english as I am not a native speaker.

I don’t speak for the devs, but afaik, you don’t.

EDIT: Sorry, windows is supported. I should have researched more beforehand. Disregard!

They were able to run it in a Windows VM, I guess it is possible.

no, no, windows is supported, but none of us uses it so we've not really made instructions

[kburnwall]

can you please guide me or I would have to find it myself?

you can use it on windows with "WSL" enabled. Then you can "Install" a version of linux like ubuntu or debian. (note: this wont install the full operating system, it is just a command prompt)

You can use WSL, but you do have to have a macOS install (or with a lil tinkering just use the recovery mode) in order to make the filesystem patches in order for it to boot after the 1st stage restore

You can use the experimental APFS driver on Linux (and WSL 2), we just haven’t gotten a chance to write instructions for that.

does that work?

probably, someone has tested it, I think. I might add those instructions when I'm done with the next batch of work
