**Windows (native):**
Hermes runs natively on Windows using [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win) (which provides Git Bash for shell commands). Install Git for Windows first, then use the PowerShell or CMD quick-install command above. WSL also works — follow the Ubuntu instructions.
**Windows:**
Native Windows is not supported. Please install [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and follow the Ubuntu/Debian instructions above.
