#### Building on Windows
The Grafana backend includes Sqlite3 which requires GCC to compile. So in order to compile Grafana on Windows you need to install GCC. We recommend [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).
The Grafana backend includes SQLite which requires GCC to compile. So in order to compile Grafana on Windows you need to install GCC. We recommend [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download). Eventually, if you use [Scoop](https://scoop.sh), you can install GCC through that.
You can simply build the back-end as follows: `go run build.go build`. The Grafana binaries will be in bin\\windows-amd64.
Alternately, if you wish to use the `make` command, install [Make for Windows](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm) and use it in a Unix shell (f.ex. Git Bash).
## Test Grafana
@ -98,6 +101,13 @@ If you're developing for the backend, run the tests with the standard Go tool:
go test -v ./pkg/...
```
#### On Windows
Running the backend tests on Windows currently needs some tweaking, so use the build.go script:
```
go run build.go test
```
### Run end-to-end tests
The end to end tests in Grafana use [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) to run automated scripts in a headless Chromium browser. Read more about our [e2e framework](/contribute/style-guides/e2e.md).
