Installing GNU Windows binaries

⚠️ Note

For the Python 3, CMake, and Git packages, we won't support it. However, it is recommended to download the binaries to put it into the GNU Windows path as the extension.

Downloading & installing the base package

You can download base packages here.

After you download the base package, extract it. Note that your folder path should not include spaces, numbers, or non-ASCII characters.

Once it is done, try SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe and go to Environment Variables to edit the PATH.

Install GNU Windows on the current user only (Recommended)

From the Environment Variables, try adding the Path user variable. Note that the path should include bin as the binary path.

Install GNU Windows on system-wide

From the Environment Variables, try adding the Path system variable. Note that the path should include bin as the binary path.

Installing the extensions

Extensions for GNU Windows can be found on TheFlightSims Labs

Once you have selected your extension, read the requirements (usually at the end of the README.md) and download both the prerequisite package and the extension itself. Extract it directly into the GNU Windows, where the bin folder should write into the folder bin of GNU Windows, as same for the rest.
