##Building on Windows
#Building and testing the client

• Install Git
• Defaults are fine except these recommendations:
  -- "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt"
  -- Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings
  -- Use Windows' default console window (especially on Windows 10)
• Install Go 1.5.3 (soon to switch to 1.6)
• Open a command console and make a directory for cloning the repo, e.g.:
  cd c:\
mkdir work
cd work
mkdir src
cd src
mkdir github.com
cd github.com
mkdir keybase
cd keybase
git clone https://github.com/keybase/client.git
• set GOPATH, e.g. set GOPATH=c:\work
• set GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 (not needed as of Go 1.6)
• cd %GOPATH%\github.com\keybase\client\go\keybase
• Find and set the address of your local server, e.g. set KEYBASE_SERVER_URI=http://172.16.199.5:3000 or use ci1.keybase.io
• Note that when changing environment variables in a console, the service must be restarted for them to take effect
• go build (or test or whatever)

#To build the gui

• Node
• Python 2.7
  Switch to Node 5.7.0:
• NVM for Windows
  Issue the commands "nvm install 5.7.0" and "nvm use 5.7.0"
• VisualStudio 2013
• Update npm. In an elevated command prompt (right-click cmd icon and select "Run As Administrator"), issue these commands, and select 3.8.1: npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade
• Open a new command window to capture the environment changes and enter: npm i
  npm run package -- --arch ia32 --platform win32 --appVersion [version]
