+# Building Crowdsec for Windows
+
+We provide scripts for PowerShell Core (>=v7.0). You can install it from [The latest GitHub releases](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases). Download the appropriate .msi file and execute it.
+
+Now, run PowerShell as Administrator, go in the crowdsec repository (if you
+already cloned it) and run:
+
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> powershell .\windows\install_dev_windows.ps1
+[...]
+```
+
+If you don't have git you can download the script and execute it, it will
+install git for you.
+
+Now you should have the right dependencies (go, gcc, git). You can verify with
+`choco list --localonly`. This is enough to build from sources, but if you want
+to also build the choco or MSI packages, you need more dependencies:
+
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> powershell .\windows\install_installer_windows.ps1
+[...]
+```
+
+You can now use
+
+* `make` to build cmd\crowdsec\crowdsec.exe and cmd\crowdsec-cli\cscli.exe
+* `make test` to run unit tests. Some tests requiring localstack are disabled. Functional tests are also only available on unix systems.
+
+* `make windows_installer` to build a `crowdsec_x.y.z.msi` installer
+* `make chocolatey` to build a package under `.\windows\Chocolatey\crowdsec\crowdsec_x.y.z.nupkg` which you can test using `choco install <filename>`
+
+After installing CrowdSec, the binaries are in `C:\Program Files\CrowdSec\`:
+
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> & 'C:\Program Files\CrowdSec\cscli.exe' metrics
+[...]
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> & 'C:\Program Files\CrowdSec\cscli.exe' parsers install crowdsecurity/syslog-logs
+[...]
+```
+
+To start/stop the service:
+
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> net stop crowdsec
+The CrowdSec service is stopping..
+The CrowdSec service was stopped successfully.
+PS C:\Users\johndoe\src\crowdsec> net start crowdsec
+The CrowdSec service is starting.
+The CrowdSec service was started successfully.
+```
