We currently do not have an \`.msi\` for automatic installation on Windows so this release
is structured the same as our Unix releases.
This release is structured the same as our Unix releases for use with MSYS2.
Easiest way to use \`d2\` on Windows is to just \`chdir\` into the bin directory of this release
and invoke \`d2\` like \`./d2 <full-input-file-path>\`
For installation you'll have to add the \`./bin/d2.exe\` binary to your \`\$PATH\`. Or add
the \`./bin\` directory of this release to your \`\$PATH\`.
See https://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-PATH-Environment-Variable-on-Windows
Then you'll be able to call \`d2\` from the commandline in \`cmd.exe\` or \`pwsh.exe\`.
We intend to have a \`.msi\` release installer sometime soon that handles putting \`d2.exe\` into
You may find our \`.msi\` installer more convenient as it handles putting \`d2.exe\` into
your \`\$PATH\` for you.
You can also use \`make install\` to install on Windows after first installing
[MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) which emulates a Linux shell for Windows. Its terminal
also enables \`d2\` to show colors in its output. The manpage will also become accessible
with \`man d2\`.
