Microsoft Windows
-----------------

.. warning:: CLTK on Windows is not officially supported, however we do encourage Windows 10 users to give the following a try. Others have reported success. If this should fail for you, please open an issue on GitHub.

Windows 10 features a beta of "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows", which creates a fully functional POSIX environment. For an introduction, `see Microsoft's docs here <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about>`_.

Once you have enabled Bash on Windows, installation and use is just the same as on Ubuntu. For instance, you do use the following:

.. code:: bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo apt install python-virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 ~/venv
source ~/venv/bin/activate
pip3 install cltk
.. tip::

Some fonts do not render Unicode well in the Bash Terminal. Try ``SimSub-ExtB`` or ``Courier New``.


Older releases

For reproduction of scholarship, the CLTK archives past versions of its software releases. \
