### Windows

50
51
- There is currently no installer for Windows.
52
- Instead, follow [ these instructions] ( https://github.com/oracle/graalpython#user-content-building-from-source ) to build GraalPy from source.
51
+ There is a preview binary build of Windows that you can download via [ www.graalvm.org ] ( https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/ ) .
52
+ The Windows build has several known issues:
53
+
54
+ - JLine treats Windows a dumb terminal, no autocomplete and limited editing capabilities in the REPL
55
+ - Interactive help() in the REPL doesn't work
56
+ - Oracle GraalPy builds cannot create venvs or install packages, use community GraalPy builds to do those things.
57
+ - Inside venvs:
58
+ - graalpy.cmd and graalpy.exe are broken
59
+ - pip.exe cannot be used directly
60
+ - pip has trouble with cache file loading, use ` --no-cache-dir `
61
+ - Only pure Python binary wheels can be installed, no native extensions or source builds
62
+ - To install a package, use ` myvenv/Scripts/python.cmd -m pip --no-cache-dir install <pkg> `
63
+ - Running from PowerShell works better than running from CMD, various scripts will fail on the latter
