## Install `depot_tools`
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
**Warning:** `depot_tools` will stop bundling Git for Windows from Sep 23, 2024
|
||||
onwards. To prepare for this change, Windows users should
|
||||
[install Git](#git-installation) directly before then.
|
||||
***
|
||||
From a command shell, navigate to the directory where you want to put
|
||||
`depot_tools` and clone the `depot_tools` repository. For example, if you
|
||||
want it to be cloned to `C:\src\depot_tools`:
|
||||
|
||||
Download the
|
||||
[depot_tools bundle](https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip)
|
||||
and extract it somewhere (eg: C:\src\depot_tools).
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
**Warning:** **DO NOT** use drag-n-drop or copy-n-paste extract from Explorer,
|
||||
this will not extract the hidden “.git” folder which is necessary for
|
||||
depot_tools to autoupdate itself. You can use “Extract all…” from the
|
||||
context menu though.
|
||||
***
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ cd C:\src
|
||||
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add depot_tools to the start of your PATH (must be ahead of any installs of
|
||||
Python. Note that environment variable names are case insensitive).
|
||||
* Assuming you unzipped the bundle to `C:\src\depot_tools`, open:
|
||||
* Assuming you cloned the repo to `C:\src\depot_tools`, open:
|
||||
Control Panel → System and Security → System
|
||||
* Select which PATH variable to edit.
|
||||
* If you have Administrator access, you can edit the **system** PATH. Click
