# Installation on Windows

Please use the standard `go get` command to build and install Delve on Windows.

```
go get github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv
```

Note: if you are using Go in modules mode you must execute this command outside of a module directory or Delve will be added to your project as a dependency.

Also, if not already set, you have to add the %GOPATH%\bin directory to your PATH variable.
docs: Move wiki docs into Documentation dir Going forward, all documentation should be placed in the Documentation directory in the root of the project. This switch allows maintainers to approve updates to documentation before they are committed, as opposed to the pre-existing wiki which anybody could modify. Currently the Documentation directory includes docs on building, usage, and minimal docs around the API. This is just the initial commit, and documentation will continue to improve over time. Some changes have been made (and will continue to be made) to `cmd/dlv` to ensure we can auto-generate documentation for all commands from the newly provided script `scripts/gen-usage-docs.go`, which can be invoked via `go run scripts/gen-usage-docs.go`. Additionally, version has been split into its own package. This was a bit of housekeeping related to the changes made the `cmd/dlv`. 2016-02-19 18:32:24 +00:00			`# Installation on Windows`

Documentation: add modules mode note to install documentation 1. Adds a note to the documentation describing how to use 'go get' in modules mode 2. Removes the '-u' option which, when 'go get' is used incorrectly will make 'go' try to compile Delve with unsupported dependencies 3. Removed obsolete note about Go 1.5 vendor experiment.

Update install.md I found this issue (https://github.com/derekparker/delve/issues/514) where user alexbrainman gave a very helpful answer. Adding this to the official install-guide might help a lot of users. 2018-03-27 11:42:05 +00:00
