Install fastn on Windows

For Windows machine, there are three ways to install fastn.
  1. fastn using installer (Recommended)
  2. fastn through pre-built binary

  4. fastn from source
ℹ️
Our Recommendation

On Windows, we recommend you to install fastn through fastn installer which can be found under the releases section of the official fastn github repository.

This is the preferred method as it only requires downloading the setup and installing it on your local system.

fastn is written using rust language, if you are familiar with it and want to use fastn for your project or for experimentation, you can do it with other two options, i.e, by installing it using cargo or by building the source.

Based on your machine and your choice of installation, you can select one of the following options:

fastn using installer

  • Download the setup named fastn.setup.exe from the Releases page

  • Run the setup and follow the installation steps

  • Once the setup is complete, you will have fastn installed in your system

To verify, open command prompt and execute the command, fastn
If you see the Help text of the fastn command, it confirms that fastn is successfully installed.

fastn through pre-built binary

  • Download the executable from the Releases page

  • Click on latest release

  • Get the latest executable file for windows in the releases page, under Assets

  • Once downloaded, select Keep option and ignore the warning

  • Create a folder named FASTN (UpperCase) in your C drive

  • Paste the downloaded executable and rename it as fastn (not fastn.exe)

  • Go to Settings and search Environment Variable

  • In the System Settings box, click Environment Variable

  • Double click on Path

  • Click on New button

  • Set a Path for FASTN in your machine’s Environment Variable
New Path
C:\FASTN
Lang:
ftd
  • Click OK to close all pop-ups.

Installation of fastn is complete.

To verify, open a fresh command prompt window and execute the command, fastn
If you see the Help text of the fastn command, it confirms that fastn is successfully installed.

Common errors to avoid

  • While renaming the file name make sure to write fastn and not fastn.exe
  • Check that your machine has the latest version of fastn
  • Make sure to start a fresh session of command prompt, to verify the installation
