# Build delivery-cli on Windows This document describes the process to build a delivery-cli package on windows systems. We will be using Test-Kitchen so you can build it on any system because we will be spinning up the windows machines that will build the package.

NOTE: This document should be removed when our Delivery pipeline builds this packages automatically.

Here are the steps:

Clone delivery-cli repository

Clone the repository locally on your computer

$ git clone https://github.com/chef/delivery-cli.git

Install and prepare omnibus (locally)

$ cd delivery-cli/omnibus-delivery-cli
$ bundle install

Converge a Windows Instance (via kitchen)

You can use any windows machine that is shown by the kitchen list command.

$ bundle exec kitchen converge windows-2012r2

Copy repository locally on the windows machine

Omnibus doesn't work fine when we use a network device inside the virtual machine, therefor you have to copy the repository locally inside the windows machine. You will have the path C:\home\vagrant\delivery-cli, make a copy of it and put it at the same parent directory.

Load omnibus variables and build the package

Finally you have to open a CMD terminal inside the windows machine and load the environment variables that omnibus make available for you at:

C:\> C:\home\vagrant\cache\load-omnibus-toolchain.bat

Prepare and install gem dependencies:

C:\> cd C:\home\vagrant\delivery-cli\omnibus-delivery-cli
C:\home\vagrant\delivery-cli\omnibus-delivery-cli> bundle install --binstubs

Build delivery-cli package: (MSI)

C:\home\vagrant\delivery-cli\omnibus-delivery-cli> bundle exec omnibus build delivery-cli --log-level internal

You will find the package at: C:\home\vagrant\delivery-cli\omnibus-delivery-cli\pkg
