51- There is currently no installer for Windows.
52- Instead, follow [ these instructions] ( https://github.com/oracle/graalpython#user-content-building-from-source ) to build GraalPy from source.
51+ There is a preview binary build of Windows that you can download via [ www.graalvm.org ] ( https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/ ) .
52+ The Windows build has several known issues:
53+
54+ - JLine treats Windows a dumb terminal, no autocomplete and limited editing capabilities in the REPL
55+ - Interactive help() in the REPL doesn't work
56+ - Oracle GraalPy builds cannot create venvs or install packages, use community GraalPy builds to do those things.
57+ - Inside venvs:
58+ - graalpy.cmd and graalpy.exe are broken
59+ - pip.exe cannot be used directly
60+ - pip has trouble with cache file loading, use ` --no-cache-dir `
61+ - Only pure Python binary wheels can be installed, no native extensions or source builds
62+ - To install a package, use ` myvenv/Scripts/python.cmd -m pip --no-cache-dir install <pkg> `
63+ - Running from PowerShell works better than running from CMD, various scripts will fail on the latter
