#### Windows-specific pre-requirements (optional)
#### Windows-specific pre-requirements

In order to avoid problems with long paths on Windows you can do the following:
In order to avoid problems with long paths on Windows you can do either one of the following:

1. In the `Local Group Policy Editor`: `Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Filesystem` set `Enable Win32 long paths` to `Enabled` (Works
only for Windows 10).
1. Clone the `haskell-ide-engine` to a short path, for example the root of your logical drive (e.g. to
`C:\hie`). If this doesn't work try the second option.

2. If the `Local Group Policy Editor` is available on your system, go to: `Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Filesystem` set `Enable Win32 long paths` to `Enabled`. If you don't have the policy editor you can use regedit by using the following instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later). You also need to configure git to allow longer paths by using unicode paths. To set this for all your git repositories use `git config --system core.longpaths true` (you probably need an administrative shell for this) or for just this one repository use `git config core.longpaths true`.
