**TODO**
For a simple installation allowing Rust development, follow these steps:
Install Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win
Install Rust from https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
Ensure that protoc.exe is in a directory in your path. For example, it can be obtained from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v24.2/protoc-24.2-win64.zip
Ensure that capnp.exe is in a directory in your path. For example, it can be obtained from https://capnproto.org/capnproto-c++-win32-0.10.4.zip
Start a Command Prompt window.
```shell
git clone https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid.git
cd veilid
cargo build
cd target
cd debug
veilid-server.exe
```
This may result in a popup window from local security software, asking whether you wish to allow network access by veilid-server.exe.
To use the CLI, navigate to the above `debug` directory in another Command Prompt window (while veilid-server.exe is still running), and type:
```shell
veilid-cli.exe
```
