Chocolatey is a great package manager for Windows. Follow these [these official instructions](https://chocolatey.org/install), or just do this:
Then download and install [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases)
Then install Chocolatey
Next download nvm's latest release from their [git](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases/lastest) and install it for advanced nodejs version management.
Then run the following from an Administrative PowerShell and press Y when prompted:
```powershell

### Node runtime and package manager
We recommend using NVM to manage your node runtime. It allows you to easily switch versions and update.
```
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.2/install.sh | bash
```
> We have audited this bash script, and it does what it says it is supposed to do. Nevertheless, before blindly curl-bashing a script, it is always wise to look at it first. Here is the file as a mere [download link](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.2/install.sh)
Once nvm is installed (you may have to use another terminal), then install Node 12LTS and the latest NPM:
```
nvm install 12LTS
```
If you have any problems with NVM, please consult their [project readme](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).
Now that `npm` is installed, if you like you may additionally install `yarn` - the preferred package manager of the Tauri team.
```
npm install --global yarn
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
scoop install yarn
```
This will install the most recent version of nodejs* with nvm, scoop, and yarn.

Next if you want to debug the front-end you will have to download [microsoft edge devtools](https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/microsoft-edge-devtools-preview/9mzbfrmz0mnj) from the microsoft store.
This will allow you to attach to a running instance of you're tauri project!
if you need help take a look at the [devtools-guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide)
## Tauri bundler
After you have installed Rust and the build toolchain, it is wise to open a new shell before continuing.
