Windows

[leonidcan]

I would like to use Windows but when I try to configure it's says readline package not installed, it seems that this packages is for *nix/mac only? Can you please direct me in right direction? Thanks!

For now the suggestion is to use WSL. Note #108 (comment). We are working on pieces to move towards directly supporting Windows.

Does it mean I have to run chia in WSL? What will be faster windows native or in *nix container? I feel that native Windows Chia should be faster? Thank you!

I don't know the details. I've heard that WSL1 is faster than native Windows for plotting and WSL2 is slower unless you do per the link I shared then... I forget, WSL2 might have been faster than Windows native. As a detail, I'm not sure if 'container' is a proper term for WSL or not.
