Windows

Use the Windows installer to download the CLI and add Coder to PATH. Alternatively, you can install Coder on Windows via a standalone binary.

1. Download the Windows installer from GitHub releases or from winget

   winget install Coder.Coder

2. Run the application

   

3. Start a Coder server

   # Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app coder server # Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

   Set CODER_ACCESS_URL to the external URL that users and workspaces will use to connect to Coder. This is not required if you are using the tunnel. Learn more about Coder's configuration options.

4. Visit the Coder URL in the logs to set up your first account, or use the CLI.
