Windows Users

The quickest, easiest way to run the WAX Blockchain on Windows is to use our Docker images. Refer to Docker Quickstart to get started.

If you're an advanced Window's developer with an understanding of Linux, you do have other options:

• Use VirtualBox (or a similar app) to create a Linux virtual machine
• Use Microsoft's Introduction to Hyper-V on Windows 10 to create a Linux virtual machine
• Use Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux
