### Windows

1. Install the [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install#install), a compatibility layer allowing you to run Linux applications (such as this one) on Windows. You only need to follow the `Install` step.
2. [Download](https://github.com/mrrfv/open-android-backup/releases/latest) the Open Android Backup bundle, which contains the script and companion app in one package. You can also grab an experimental build (heavily discouraged) by clicking on [this link](https://github.com/mrrfv/open-android-backup/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) or cloning.
3. Open the repository in the file explorer. Right click on a file called `backup-windows.ps1`, and click on "Run with PowerShell". **IMPORTANT: If you see an error after running the script, search for "Developer Settings" in the Settings app, and apply the settings related to PowerShell.**

You may also have to open the file's Properties and ensure "Unblock" is checked next to "Security".**
