On Windows please use Docker: see [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml)
Windows
=======
Windows users may run turbo-geth in 3 possible ways:
* Build tg binaries natively for Windows : while this method is possible we still lack a fully automated build process thus, at the moment, is not to be preferred. Besides there's also a caveat which might cause your experience with TG as native on Windows uncomfortable: data file allocation is fixed so you need to know in advance how much space you want to allocate for database file using the option `--lmdb.mapSize`
* Use Docker : see [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml)
* Use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) : You can easily install WSL following [this quickstart guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10). Is also suggested the reading of [interoperability amongst Windows and Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop) work. Once your WSL environment is ready with your preferred Kernel distribution (for this document we assume you've choosen Ubuntu) proceed to install (in the linux subsystem) the required components:
```sh
> sudo apt install build-essential git golang golang-go
```
Once this last step is completed you can run tg as if you were on Linux as described the [Usage](#usage) section.
**Note** : WSL native filesystem is set to reside in the same partition of Windows' system partition (usually C:). Unless this is the only partition of your system is advisable to have TG store its data in a different partition. Say your Windows system has a secondary partition D: WSL environment _sees_ this partition as `/mnt/d`so to have TG store its data there you will haave to launch TG as
```sh
> ./tg --datadir /mnt/d/[<optional-subfolder>/]
```
