~~Title: Installing EFL on Windows~~
---
# Installing EFL on Ubuntu #
[The *Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL)*](/about-efl.md) power millions of systems from mobile phones to set-top boxes, desktops, laptops, game systems and more. You'll need EFL if you want to develop apps for Enlightenment and for any of the devices that use Enlightenment for its visual interface.
This tutorial describes several ways to install EFL on your system. You will only need to use one of these. Select your chosen method using the index on the right.
Many distributions offer EFL as installable packages from their default repositories. In this case you only need to use your distribution's software management system to install. However, most versions of EFL in default repositories are out of date and will not compile more recent Enlightenment applications. If this is not an issue for you, read through the ["From Distribution Repositories"](#From_Distribution_Repositories) section below.
The Enlightenment developers provide a pre-packaged source of EFL. Although not bleeding edge it is up to date and considered stable for production environments. You can download, compile and install it yourself by following the instructions in ["Installing from Packaged Source"](#Installing_from_Packaged_Source).
You can also download the source code for the most recent version from the Enlightenment git repositories. To get started, read the section ["Installing from Git"](#Installing_from_Git).
## From Distribution Repositories ##
### Step 1: Installing Dependencies ###
You need to install the needed dependencies, which are usually not provided on Widows. The [Ewpi](https://github.com/vtorri/ewpi) project has an NSIS installer which provides them. You can download the lastest one [here](https://github.com/vtorri/ewpi/releases).
### Step 2: Installing the EFL ###
## Installing from Git ##
You can also get the bleeding edge version of EFL by cloning it from the git repository. These steps will be done in the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) environment
### Step 1: Installing MSYS2 ###
### Step 2: Installing git and Cloning ###
### Step 3: Installing Dependencies ###
### Step 4: Configuring the Software ###
### Step 5: Carrying out Post Installation Tasks ###
## Troubleshooting ##
If you are having problems compiling and installing EFL, you can come and seek advice on [any of our IRC channels](https://www.enlightenment.org/contact) or [post a ticket to our Gitea](https://git.enlightenment.org/issues).
## Installing on Other Operating Systems ##
If you would like to install EFL on a different operating system visit the [Installing EFL](start) page.
