Dependencies on Windows

There are several packages that need to be installed before getting started compiling Plume on Windows devices.

  1. Download and install Git-SCM
  2. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2019

  3. a. For SQLite Database:

    Install Chocalatey using a PowerShell v2+ prompt:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

    b. For PostgreSQL:

    Download PostgreSQL Binaries, extract to an easy place (i.e. C:\Extra\pgsql), and add the bin folder to your system path variable.

  4. Download and install OpenSSL (i.e. C:\Extra\ssl)

  5. Create new system variable called “OPENSSLDIR” with a value of C:\Extra\ssl (or wherever you installed OpenSSL NOTE: this is _not to the bin folder, it must be to root to get the bin and lib folders!)

  6. Download and install LLVM (libclang) (i.e. C:\Extra\LLVM)

  7. Create new system variable called “LIBCLANG_PATH” with a value of C:\Extra\LLVM\bin (or wherever you installed LLVM to)

  8. Reboot your PC to continue

Now that these dependencies have been installed, we need to install Rust which has a special installer.

Let’s do it!
