### Installing on Windows
Install OpenSSL v1.0.2L 64-Bit:
https://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL-1_0_2L.exe
As Administrator, open `cmd.exe` and run:
```console
C:\Users\bcoin\bcoin>npm install --global --production windows-build-tool
```
to install `VCBuild.exe` and `Python 2.7.x` both required by `node-gyp`
for building native modules.
Then continue [Installing via Git](#installing-via-git)
Note that you need a shell that supports bash scripts, like Git Bash to launch
bcoin.
### Troubleshooting ### Troubleshooting

Bcoin will throw a warning on boot if it detects a build failure. If you run into this issue, please post an issue on the repo.
