How to Install chia-dev-tools on Windows 10

  1. Install Python from Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9PJPW5LDXLZ5

  2. Install C++ Build Tools : https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
    I just checked every build tool offered.

  3. Open Powershell as Administrator (right-click icon choose Run as Administrator)

  4. Change the Execution Policy:
    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  5. Create a folder for your project.
    mkdir C:\Users\Steve\Documents\ChiaProjects\FirstTest
  6. Change directory into your new folder
    cd C:\Users\Steve\Documents\ChiaProjects\FirstTest


  7. python -m venv venv
    This will take a little bit of time, be patient.

  8. Activate the python virtual environment.
    ./venv/Scripts/activate
  9. Then run the installation for the chia-dev-tools
    (venv) PS C:\Users\Steve\Documents\ChiaProjects\FirstTest> pip install chia-dev-tools
  10. Add install location into Path environment variable.
    Start • Settings • System • About • Advanced system settings • Environment Variables • System Variables • Path • Edit • New

    C:\Users\steve\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\Scripts

    Note: I had to do a search for the cdv.exe file in File Explorer to determine the location to use.

  11. Restart computer.

  12. Relaunch Powershell as Adminstrator.

  13. Change into your project directory and check the version.
    cdv --version

I hope you had fun and find this useful.

Feedback is always welcome.

How to setup a Chia Harvester To get a Harvester computer setup, follow these steps. These steps assume you already have a FULL NODE computer running. HOME will be your user folder on a machine. Linux /home/<username> Windows C:\Users\<username> FULL NODE will be the machine you are running as a full node. HARVESTER will be the machine you want to run as a harvester, and not a full node. Step 1 . Make a  copy  of the  ca  folder on the FULL NODE and put it on the HARVESTER. I used a thumb drive to do this, but I have seen other use secure copy (scp) on the command line. Linux ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/ca Windows C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\ssl\ca Step 2 . Edit the “config.yaml” file on the FULL NODE and make the following change. farmer: -> logging: -> log_level: Change "WARNING" to "INFO" ("DEBUG" with 1.1.6) Linux ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml Windows C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\conf
