# Developing on Windows
To download the latest version of Plaso you'll need to install the git tools: http://git-scm.com/downloads
Checkout the plaso source from the git repo:
```
git clone https://github.com/log2timeline/plaso.git
```
**If you intend to submit code make sure to configure git to use convert to the Unix-style end-of-line characters (linefeed) on submission and not have the Windows-style end-of-line characters (carriage return + linefeed).**
We recommend to configure your editor of choice to use linefeed only and turn off git's autocrlf:
```
git config --global core.autocrlf false
```
To be able to run the plaso [development release](Releases-and-roadmap.md) on Windows you'll have to have installed the [dependencies](Dependencies.md).
Check if you have all the dependencies installed and have the right minimum version:
```
C:\Python27\python.exe utils\check_dependencies.py
```
**Note that some dependencies are actively under development and can be frequently updated, therefore we recommend checking the status of the dependencies regularly.**
## Running the development release
To run the development release directly from source make sure Python can find the plaso source files by setting PYTHONPATH correspondingly.
```
set PYTHONPATH=C:\plaso-build\plaso
```
To run e.g. pinfo:
```
C:\Python27\python.exe C:\plaso-build\plaso\plaso\frontend\pinfo.py plaso.db
```
## Development tools
If you intend to do development on plaso you'll also need to install some development tools:
* PyLint
* Python Mock
### PyLint
At the moment Plaso development requires PyLint 1.6.x.
**TODO: describe building pylint 1.6.x**
For pylint 1.6.x the following additional dependencies are required:
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/astroid
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lazy-object-proxy
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/logilab-common
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wrapt
### Python Mock
Download the latest source package from: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock
To build the MSI file run the following commands from the build root directory:
```
tar xvf mock-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd mock-1.0.1\
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py bdist_msi
cd ..
```
This will create a MSI in the dist sub directory e.g.:
```
dist\mock-1.0.1.win32.msi
```
Install the MSI.
