+# Windows
+
+Use the Windows installer to download the CLI and add Coder to `PATH`. Alternatively, you can install Coder on Windows via a [standalone binary](./binary.md).
+
+1. Download the Windows installer from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) or from `winget`
+
+   ```powershell
+    winget install Coder.Coder
+   ```
+
+2. Run the application
+
+   ![Windows installer](../images/install/windows-installer.png)
+
+3. Start a Coder server
+
+   ```console
+   # Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
+   coder server
+
+   # Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
+   coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
+   ```
+
+   > Set `CODER_ACCESS_URL` to the external URL that users and workspaces will use to
+   > connect to Coder. This is not required if you are using the tunnel. Learn more
+   > about Coder's [configuration options](../admin/configure.md).
+
+4. Visit the Coder URL in the logs to set up your first account, or use the CLI.
