Up until now everything we've done has been Linux based and for good reason.

2
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:12,700
Engine X was only created to be run on Linux.

3
00:00:12,730 --> 00:00:19,750
So whilst a Windows binary does exist and is very easy to install it should only really ever be used

4
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:27,040
for testing or in our case for learning to configure engine X to get the windows binary will go to engine

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,360
X dot org and then downloading and running the binary.

6
00:00:31,540 --> 00:00:37,800
But it's definitely worth reading through this page to understand the limitations of engine X on Windows.

7
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:45,340
In brief These include very poor performance being limited to a single worker process and a number of

8
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,730
modules that won't work including caching.

9
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,610
Again if you're following this course then for the most part the windows install will be fine but anything

10
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:58,680
more than that you'll want to move your install to a Linux based system.
