^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We are now ready to get the Spack environment set up on our machine. We
begin by creating a top-level directory to do our work in: we will call
it ``spack_install`` in this tutorial. Inside this directory, use Git to
clone the Spack repo, hosted at https://github.com/spack/spack.git.
begin by using Git to clone the Spack repo, hosted at https://github.com/spack/spack.git
into a desired directory, for our purposes today, called ``spack_install``.
The files and scripts used for Windows installation are on the
``features/windows-support`` branch; ``cd`` into the repo and use
``git checkout`` to switch to it. Then navigate to
``lib\spack\spack\cmd\installer`` and copy the ``scripts`` directory and
``spack_cmd.bat`` up to the top-level ``spack_install`` directory. In a
Windows console, you can do both of these things by executing the following
commands from the ``spack_install`` level:
``git checkout`` to switch to it.
.. code-block:: console
xcopy lib\spack\spack\cmd\installer\scripts\ scripts\
xcopy lib\spack\spack\cmd\installer\spack_cmd.bat .
Your file structure should look like this after following the above
steps:
.. code-block:: console
spack_install
|--------spack
|--------scripts
|--------spack_cmd.bat

Step 3: Run and configure Spack
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To use Spack, run ``spack_cmd.bat`` (you may need to Run as Administrator).
This will provide a Windows command prompt with an environment properly set
up with Spack and its prerequisites. If you receive a warning message that
Python is not in your ``PATH`` (which may happen if you installed Python
from the website and not the Windows Store), add the location of the Python
executable to your ``PATH`` now.
To use Spack, run ``bin\spack_cmd.bat`` (you may need to Run as Administrator)
from the spack source tree root. This will provide a Windows command prompt
with an environment properly set up with Spack and its prerequisites.
If you receive a warning message that Python is not in your ``PATH``
(which may happen if you installed Python from the website and not
the Windows Store), add the location of the Python executable to your
``PATH`` now.
To configure Spack, first run the following command inside the Spack console:
