How to Install Conduit on Windows 11

Conduit is a Rust-based WebAssembly runtime that provides a safe execution environment for untrusted code. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Conduit on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure your Windows 11 system meets the following requirements:

Steps to Install Conduit on Windows 11

  1. Open a command prompt or PowerShell terminal on your Windows 11 system.

  2. Clone the Conduit repository using the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/conduit-rust/conduit.git
    
  3. Navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:

    cd conduit
    
  4. Build the Conduit runtime using the following command:

    cargo build --release
    

    This will compile the Conduit runtime and create a binary executable file in the target/release directory.

  5. Add the target/release directory to your system's PATH environment variable by entering the following command:

    set PATH=%PATH%;%cd%\target\release
    

    This will add the Conduit runtime executable to your system's PATH, allowing you to use it from any directory in the terminal.

  6. Verify the installation by running the conduit --version command. If the runtime is installed correctly, you should see its version number displayed in the terminal.

    conduit 0.5.0
    

    Congratulations! You have successfully installed Conduit on your Windows 11 system.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install Conduit on Windows 11. Conduit provides a secure runtime environment for executing untrusted code and can be useful in a variety of use cases, such as sandboxing code for testing or running untrusted code on a server.
