This document describes the steps to build the windows 64bits hurl binary with Powershell 7.

All command have been launched with admin privileges on c:\ root dir and executed sequentially. (If you don't want to use c:\ as installation path and git clone path, please replace all its references before executing commands )

All the steps have been tested on a blank Windows 10 64bits and total operation time is about 30 minutes with a xdsl connection (5mb/sec).

You just have to follow each chapter sequentially until you get a windows installer allowing the native installation of hurl on your favorite windows 64bits computer.
