Installing Locust on Windows
----------------------------

The easiest way to get Locust running on Windows is to first install pre built binary packages for
gevent and greenlet and then follow the above instructions.
On Windows, running ``pip install locustio`` might fail depedning on if you have a build environment
set up correctly. In that case, the easiest way to get Locust running on windows is to first install
the pre built binary package for pyzmq (and possibly for gevent and greenlet as well).

You can find an unofficial collection of pre built python packages for windows here:
`http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>`_

When you've downloaded a pre-built ``.whl`` file, you can install it with::

pip install pyzmq‑16.0.2‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl

Once you've done that you should be able to just ``pip install locustio``.

.. note::

Running Locust on Windows should work fine for developing and testing your load testing
