# Installation on Windows
This documentation describes how to set up a workspace for trying to compile sdformat on Windows.
## Supported compilers
At this moment, compilation has been tested on Windows 7 and 8.1 and is supported
when using Visual Studio 2013. Patches for other versions are welcome.
## Installation
Totally experimental, using pre-compiled binaries in a local workspace. To
make things easier, use a MinGW shell for your editing work, and only use the
Windows `cmd` for configuring and building.
1. Make a directory to work in, e.g.:
mkdir sdformat-ws
cd sdformat-ws
1. Download boost into that directory:
- [boost 1.56.0](http://packages.osrfoundation.org/win32/deps/boost_1_56_0.zip)
1. Unzip it in sdformat-ws.
1. Clone sdformat
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/osrf/sdformat
1. Load your compiler setup, e.g. (note that we are asking for the 64-bit toolchain here):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
1. Configure and build sdformat:
cd sdformat
mkdir build
cd build
..\configure
nmake
nmake install
You should now have an installation of sdformat in sdformat-ws/sdformat/build/install/Release.
Once this all works (which it does with tender love and care): you should now have an installation of sdformat in sdformat-ws/sdformat/build/install/Release.
