# Running Keploy Natively on Windows

> Install and run Keploy natively on Windows using WSL — prerequisites, setup steps, and running your first test.

On Windows, WSL is required to run Keploy Binary. You must be running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041
and higher) or Windows 11 to use the commands below.

```shell
wsl --install -d <Distribution Name>
```

Recommended to use "Ubuntu-22.04"

This command will enable the features necessary to run WSL and install the Ubuntu distribution of Linux. (This default
distribution can be changed).

Install "Keploy Binary" :

```shell
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin && keploy
```

Congratulations! You've successfully set up Keploy natively on Windows.
