2. Then follow the rest of the post-installation steps under [Basic GitHub Checkout](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#basic-github-checkout), starting with #2 ("Configure your shell's environment for Pyenv").
If you're on Windows, consider using @kirankotari's [`pyenv-win`](https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win) fork. (Pyenv does not work in Windows outside the Windows Subsystem for Linux.)
### The automatic installer
### Windows
Pyenv does not officially support Windows and does not work in Windows outside
the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Moreover, even there, the Pythons it installs are not native Windows versions
but rather Linux versions run through a compatibility layer --
so you won't get Windows-specific functionality.
If you're in Windows, we recommend using @kirankotari's [`pyenv-win`](https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win) fork --
which does install native Windows Python versions.
