Up until now everything we've done has been Linux based and for good reason.

00:09.460 --> 00:12.700
Engine X was only created to be run on Linux.

00:12.730 --> 00:19.750
So whilst a Windows binary does exist and is very easy to install it should only really ever be used

00:19.750 --> 00:27.040
for testing or in our case for learning to configure engine X to get the windows binary will go to engine

00:27.040 --> 00:31.360
X dot org and then downloading and running the binary.

00:31.540 --> 00:37.800
But it's definitely worth reading through this page to understand the limitations of engine X on Windows.

00:38.950 --> 00:45.340
In brief These include very poor performance being limited to a single worker process and a number of

00:45.340 --> 00:48.730
modules that won't work including caching.

00:48.760 --> 00:54.610
Again if you're following this course then for the most part the windows install will be fine but anything

00:54.610 --> 00:58.680
more than that you'll want to move your install to a Linux based system.
