## Windows
ENiGMA½ will run on both 32bit and 64 bit Windows. If you want to run 16bit doors naively then you should use a 32 bit Windows.
### Basic Instructions
1. Download and Install [Node.JS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
1. Upgrade NPM : At this time node comes with NPM 5.6 preinstalled. To upgrade to a newer version now or in the future on windows follow this method.
```Powershell
*Run PowerShell as Administrator
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade
```
Note: Do not run npm i -g npm. Instead use npm-windows-upgrade to update npm going forward.
Also if you run the NodeJS installer, it will replace the node version.:
2. Install [windows-build-tools for npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools)
*This will also install python 2.7
```Powershell
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
```
2. Install [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/download.html).
*Add 7zip to your path so 7z can be called from the console
3. Install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and optionally [TortoiseGit](https://tortoisegit.org/download/).
4. Clone Enigma - browse to the directory you want and run "git clone https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs.git"
Optionally use the tortoisegit gui by right clicking the directory and run git clone in the menu
5. Install ENiGMA½.
1. In the enigma directory run 'npm install'
2. Generate your initial configuration:
'node .\oputil.js config new'
Follow the prompts!
3. Edit any configuration files
4. Run ENiGMA½
'node .\main.js'
6. Profit!
