# 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.
