### Windows Systems
|
||||
On windows systems you need at least the [MinGW Tools](http://www.mingw.org/), e.g. install via [choco](https://chocolatey.org/):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
choco install mingw -y
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This installs the GCC compiler, as well as a ```mingw32-make``` which can be used wherever
|
||||
this documentation mentions ```make```
|
||||
|
||||
when building using ```go``` you also need to mention the windows
|
||||
executable extension
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
go build -o bin/packer.exe
|
||||
```
