======================
Quickstart for Windows
======================
.. default-domain:: minio
.. |OS| replace:: Windows
This procedure deploys a :ref:`Single-Node Single-Drive <minio-installation-comparison>` MinIO server onto |OS| for early development and evaluation of MinIO Object Storage and its S3-compatible API layer.
For instructions on deploying to production environments, see :ref:`deploy-minio-distributed`.
Prerequisites
-------------
- Read, write, and execute permissions for the preferred local directory or file path
- Familiarity with using the Command Prompt or PowerShell
Procedure
---------
#. Install the MinIO Server
Download the MinIO executable from the following URL:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/windows-amd64/minio.exe
The next step includes instructions for running the executable.
You cannot run the executable from the Explorer or by double clicking the file.
Instead, you call the executable to launch the server.
#. Launch the :mc:`minio server`
In PowerShell or the Command Prompt, navigate to the location of the executable or add the path of the ``minio.exe`` file to the system ``$PATH``.
Use this command to start a local MinIO instance in the ``C:\minio`` folder.
You can replace ``C:\minio`` with another drive or folder path on the local computer.
.. code-block::
:class: copyable
.\minio.exe server C:\minio --console-address :9090
The :mc:`minio server` process prints its output to the system console, similar to the following:
.. code-block:: shell
API: http://192.0.2.10:9000 http://127.0.0.1:9000
RootUser: minioadmin
RootPass: minioadmin
Console: http://192.0.2.10:9090 http://127.0.0.1:9090
RootUser: minioadmin
RootPass: minioadmin
Command-line: https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html
$ mc alias set myminio http://192.0.2.10:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
Documentation: https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html
WARNING: Detected default credentials 'minioadmin:minioadmin', we recommend that you change these values with 'MINIO_ROOT_USER' and 'MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD' environment variables.
The process is tied to the current PowerShell or Command Prompt window.
Closing the window stops the server and ends the process.
#. Connect your Browser to the MinIO Server
Access the :ref:`minio-console` by going to a browser (such as Microsoft Edge) and going to ``http://127.0.0.1:9000`` or one of the Console addresses specified in the :mc:`minio server` command's output.
For example, :guilabel:`Console: http://192.0.2.10:9090 http://127.0.0.1:9090` in the example output indicates two possible addresses to use for connecting to the Console.
While port ``9000`` is used for connecting to the API, MinIO automatically redirects browser access to the MinIO Console.
Log in to the Console with the ``RootUser`` and ``RootPass`` user credentials displayed in the output.
These default to ``minioadmin | minioadmin``.

You can use the MinIO Console for general administration tasks like Identity and Access Management, Metrics and Log Monitoring, or Server Configuration.
Each MinIO server includes its own embedded MinIO Console.

For more information, see the :ref:`minio-console` documentation.
#. `(Optional)` Install the MinIO Client
The :ref:`MinIO Client <minio-client>` allows you to work with your MinIO volume from the commandline.
Download the standalone MinIO server for Windows from the following link:
https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/windows-amd64/mc.exe
Double click on the file to run it.
Or, run the following in the Command Prompt or PowerShell.
.. code-block::
:class: copyable
\path\to\mc.exe --help
Use :mc:`mc.exe alias set <mc alias set>` to quickly authenticate and connect to the MinIO deployment.
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc.exe alias set local http://127.0.0.1:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
mc.exe admin info local
The :mc:`mc.exe alias set <mc alias set>` takes four arguments:
- The name of the alias
- The hostname or IP address and port of the MinIO server
- The Access Key for a MinIO :ref:`user <minio-users>`
- The Secret Key for a MinIO :ref:`user <minio-users>`
For additional details about this command, see :ref:`alias`.
