Windows 10 MozPhab Installation Guide

Here are step-by-step instructions to getting MozPhab working on Windows 10 in a MozillaBuild environment. They should work for Git Bash and PowerShell as well. For the sake of this documentation we will use the terminal provided by running the C:\mozilla-build\start-shell.bat.

  1. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) if you don’t already have it. You can see if you have it through Settings -> Apps -> App & features. It is available at https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads (vc_redist.x64.exe).

  2. If you don’t have Git already installed (note that it is not currently packaged with MozillaBuild), you’ll need to grab it from https://git-scm.com/download/win and install it.

  3. Run pip3 install MozPhab.

  4. Add moz-phab and git to the $PATH variable. If you use MSYS (including MozillaBuild) exclusively, you can add this to ~/.bash_profile:

    export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Git/bin:/c/mozilla-build/Python3/Scripts

  5. Ensure running moz-phab works:

    $ moz-phab -h
