The text file editors that come with Windows, “edit” and “notepad”, are

unsuitable for editing files in an MSYS environment for many reasons, but above
|
||||
all because they can't handle Unix text-file line endings. So it's imperative

you install a Unix-capable text editor such as Nano or Vim.

experience is less than optimal. You're urged to use the prebuilt

[MMGenLive][20] USB image instead. It's now the preferred way for all non-Linux
|

users to run MMGen.***
|
||||
|

### 1. Install the Python interpreter:
|
||||
|
||||
Grab the [Windows 32-bit installer][09] and run it, accepting the defaults.
|

Add the Python base and Scripts directories to your [path][08], e.g.

|
||||
Enter your MSYS environment, create the directory `/build` and move to it.
|
||||
This is where you'll be unpacking and building archives:
|
||||
|
||||
$ mkdir /c/build
|
||||
$ cd /c/build
|
||||
$ mkdir /build
|
||||
$ cd /build
|
||||
|
||||
If the machine you're installing on is online, you can download the various
|
||||
tarballs and zipped archives you need from the Internet exactly as described in
|
||||
the instructions below. If you're offline, you'll need to download them first
|
||||
on another machine and then transfer them to the install computer using a USB
|
||||
stick, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, you'll probably be downloading the archives to a folder
|
||||
somewhere outside the root of your MSYS filesystem. To access it within MSYS,
|
||||
use `/c/` for drive `C:`, `/d/` for drive `D:` and so forth. A full path to an
|
||||
archive would thus look something like this:
|
||||
`/c/my_downloaded_archives/archive_name.tar.gz`.

||||

Installing MMGen on Windows can be divided into four steps:
|
||||
|
||||
> 1. [Install MinGW and MSYS][01], if you haven't already;
|
||||
> 2. [Install MMGen's dependencies (excluding the bitcoin daemons) and
|
||||
> MMGen itself][02];
|
||||
> 3. [Install the offline bitcoin daemon (bitcoind)][07]; and
|
||||
> 4. [Build the online "watch-only" bitcoin daemon][03].
|
||||
|
||||
Steps 1 and 2 are somewhat lengthy but straightforward. You may proceed
|
||||
directly to them by following the links above and then returning to this page.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've finished step 2, then you may pause the installation process if you
|
||||
wish and begin exploring some of MMGen's features as described in [**Getting
|
||||
Started with MMGen**][08]. To be able to track addresses and create
|
||||
transactions, however, you must install the bitcoin daemons on your online and
|
||||
offline machines as described in steps 3 and 4.
|
||||
|
||||
The bitcoind on the **offline machine** is used solely to sign transactions and
|
||||
runs without a blockchain. Therefore, it will run just fine even on a
|
||||
low-powered computer such as a netbook. Installing it is easy. Just follow the
|
||||
link on item 3 above.
|
||||
|
||||
The **online machine** uses a custom "watch-only" bitcoin daemon to import and
|
||||
track addresses and maintain the complete blockchain. These are CPU-intensive
|
||||
tasks which require a more powerful computer. You'll also need plenty of free
|
||||
disk space for the rapidly growing blockchain (~20GB at the time of writing).
|
||||
|
||||
The watch-only bitcoind is still new and hasn't yet been included in the stock
|
||||
Bitcoin distribution. Therefore, it must be compiled from source code. On
|
||||
Windows, this process involves some additional work: compiling and installing
|
||||
libraries on which bitcoind depends and making some simple edits to source code
|
||||
and configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed, step-by-step instructions for installing and building each component
|
||||
and dependency have been provided to make this process go as smoothly as
|
||||
possible. The instructions have been thoroughly tested on the author's build
|
||||
machine running 32-bit Windows XP. The target computer is not required to have
|
||||
an Internet connection.
|
||||
|
||||
Be advised that compiling bitcoind on Windows requires some time and patience.
|
||||
If you're ready to proceed, first read [**A word on text editors**][09] and
|
||||
install a Unix-capable text editor if you haven't yet done so; then follow the
|
||||
link on item 4 above to begin the build process.

MinGW-64 (Minimal GNU for Windows) provides the gcc compiler and related tools
|
||||
for compiling source code into Windows binaries. MSYS provides a Unix-like
|
||||
environment with basic Unix shell commands. MinGW-64 and MSYS were originally
|
||||
part of the same project and are designed to be used together.
|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest [MSYS zip archive][01] and [MinGW-64 7-zip archive][02]
|
||||
provided by the MinGW-64 team. To unpack the latter you'll need the program
|
||||
[7-zip][03].
|
||||
|
||||
After unzipping both archives to `C:\` (assuming that's the root of your
|
||||
filesystem), you'll have two new directory trees at `C:\msys` and `C:\mingw64`.
|
||||
|
||||
Open Power Shell and launch your MSYS environment with the command
|
||||
`C:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login`. You'll now be in the home directory of your
|
||||
MSYS environment.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid having to type this command by hand each time you enter MSYS, you're
|
||||
advised to create a launcher icon. Copy the “PowerShell” icon, rename the copy
|
||||
to “MSYS”, right click on the icon, and add the above command to the end of the
|
||||
existing command line after a space.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: At this point you must install a [text editor][00] before continuing
|
||||
with your installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Using your text editor within MSYS, create the file `/etc/fstab.conf` with a
|
||||
single line: `c:/mingw64 /mingw`. Execute the command `mount /mingw`
|
||||
|
||||
If you're new to Unix, you're advised to learn [a few basic Unix commands][04].

environment with basic Unix shell commands. MinGW and MSYS are part of the same

project and are designed to be used together.
|

|

Complete hypertexed lists of the required MinGW and MSYS archive files are
|
||||
provided below for convenient downloading. Save the archives into two separate
|
||||
temporary directories (`mingw` and `msys`, for example).
|
||||
|
||||
These lists were checked and known to work at the time of this writing (November
|
||||
2016). More recent versions of the files are available in the [MinGW
|
||||
repository][01], and an auto-installer can be found there as well. However,
|
||||
these instructions are designed to work on an offline computer, for which the
|
||||
auto-installer cannot be used.
|
||||
|
||||
> * [MinGW archive list][02]
|

> * [MSYS archive list][03]
|
||||
|
||||
Unpack the basic-bsdtar archive (in the MinGW archives) and copy the executable
|
||||
`basic-bsdtar.exe` to your path (e.g. `C:\windows\system32`).
|
||||
|
||||
From the DOS prompt (a.k.a “Power Shell” or “Command Line”), create the two
|
||||
base directories and move to the first of them:
|
||||
|
||||
> mkdir C:\mingw
|
||||
> mkdir C:\msys
|
||||
> cd C:\mingw
|
||||
|
||||
Unpack all the MinGW archives (except basic-bsdtar) by executing the following
|
||||
command for each archive:
|
||||
|
||||
> basic-bsdtar.exe -xf <path to MinGW archives>/<archive name>
|
||||
|
||||
Now move the MSYS base directory:
|
||||
|
||||
> cd C:\msys
|
||||
|
||||
and unpack each MSYS archive in the same way:
|
||||
|
||||
> basic-bsdtar.exe -xf <path to MSYS archives>/<archive name>
|
||||
|
||||
Add `C:\mingw\bin` to your user path. Consult [this page][05] for instructions
|
||||
on how to do that.
|
||||
|
||||
Close the command prompt window and open a new one. Launch the MSYS shell with
|
||||
the command `C:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login`. You'll now be in the home
|
||||
directory of your MSYS environment.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid having to launch your MSYS shell like this each time, you're advised to
|
||||
copy the “PowerShell” icon, rename the copy to “MSYS”, right click on the icon,
|
||||
and add the shell launch command to the end of the command line after a space.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: At this point you should install a [text editor][00] before proceeding
|
||||
further with your installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the command `mount c:/mingw /mingw` to include your MinGW installation in
|
||||
the MSYS tree. So you won't have to run this command every time you log in to
|
||||
MSYS, open the file `/etc/fstab` in your text editor and add the line `c:/mingw
|
||||
/mingw` (if it's not already there).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Unix commands and environment:
|
||||
|
||||
If you're new to Unix, you should learn a few key commands:
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Action |
|
||||
|:--------|:--------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `ls` | view directory contents (`ls -l` for a long view) |
|
||||
| `rm` | remove files (`rm -r` to remove entire directory trees) |
|
||||
| `rmdir` | remove an empty directory |
|
||||
| `cp` | copy a file (`cp -a` to copy directory trees) |
|
||||
| `mv` | move a file or directory |
|
||||
| `cat` | output a file to screen |
|
||||
| `less` | view a file page-by-page, with scrollback |
|
||||
|
||||
Command help texts can be accessed with the `--help` switch. Directories are
|
||||
separated by `/`, not `\`. The root of the filesystem is `/`. Drive letter
|
||||
`C:` is expressed as `/c/`.
|
||||
|
||||
Environmental variables may be viewed with the `env` command. Individual
|
||||
variables may be viewed like this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo $PATH
|
||||
|
||||
and set like this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ PATH=$PATH:/home/<username>/bin
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes variables must be exported to be visible to called programs:
