7-Zip needs to be installed in two parts.
First, the standalone7zr.exe
binary should be downloaded.
This can stay in the Downloads directory as it will only be needed once.
Second, the 64-bit Windows x64 installer (.exe
) should be downloaded.
This should be extracted using the previous standalone executable.
mkdir %USERPROFILE%\opt\7zip
cd %USERPROFILE%\opt\7zip
%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\7zr.exe x %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\7z2201-x64.exe
The 7zip path can then be added to the %PATH%
environment variable.
Use the non-MSI installer for per-user installation.
Git can install to a user directory when run without admin permissions.
Download and extract the TTF files from the .tar.gz
file, or checkout the binaries from Git:
git clone https://go.googlesource.com/image
The font files are in image/font/gofont/ttfs
.
Select all the .ttf
files, right-click, and select Install.
ZIP version can run from any directory.
Requires the Visual C++ Redistributable to be downloaded and extracted.
The Wix binaries ZIP should be downloaded and extracted. Then the Wix dark.exe command should be used to extract the VC_redist.x64.exe file.
dark.exe -x vcruntime VC_redist.x64.exe
Then open vcruntime\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\cab1.cab
and copy all the files into the KeePassXC directory.
The .msixbundle
will install without admin permissions.
ZIP version can run from any directory.
Download and run the msys2-x86_64-*.exe
installer.
Install to a directory that you have write access to, e.g. under %USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64
.
Run the MSYS2 UCRT64 launcher. UCRT64 is Microsoft's Universal C Runtime Library and is the preferred build environment on modern (Windows 10 and above) Windows operating systems. For more information, see Environments.
Update the MSYS2 environment with pacman -Syu
and then install the toolchain package group with pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain
.
This will install all of the build tools including gcc
, g++
, and mingw32-make
, plus the libstdc
and libstdc++
libraries.
Finally, add %USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\ucrt64\bin
to the %PATH%
environment variable.
A profile can be added to Windows Terminal with the following settings:
MSYS2 UCRT64
%USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -ucrt64
%USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\home\%USERNAME%
%USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\ucrt64.ico
The Windows built-in ssh-agent needs admin to be started, so we have to use PAGEANT.EXE
instead.
The ZIP file can be extracted to any directory.
Running PAGEANT.EXE --openssh-config %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config.d\pageant.config
will write an OpenSSH config file with the path to the pipe used for communication.
This can be used by the built-in Windows OpenSSH client by adding an Include config.d\pageant.config
line to %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config
.
The installer can run without admin permissions, or the ZIP version can run from any directory.
The following can be put into a batch file named vim.cmd
in the %PATH%
to make it easier to launch without pulling in all the other programs:
@ECHO OFF
"%USERPROFILE%\opt\vim\vim90\vim.exe" %*
Use the NoInstall ZIP file.
