# Building NSIS installer
|
|
|
|
Wails supports generating Windows installers using the [NSIS installer](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/).
|
|
|
|
## Installing NSIS
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
If you use the chocolatey package manager, run the following script:
|
|
```
|
|
choco install nsis
|
|
```
|
|
If you install NSIS manually, you need to add the *Bin* folder, which contains `makensis.exe`, in your NSIS installation to your path.
|
|
[Here](https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/) is a good tutorial on how to add to path on Windows.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
The `nsis` package should be available through your distribution's package manager.
|
|
|
|
### MacOS
|
|
|
|
NSIS is available to install through homebrew: `brew install nsis`.
|
|
|
|
## Generating the installer
|
|
|
|
When a new project is created, Wails generates a `.nsi` installer script in `build/windows/installer`.
|
|
|
|
To generate an installer for your application, use the `-nsis` flag with `wails build`:
|
|
```
|
|
wails build -nsis
|
|
```
|
|
|
