Fastlane windows cannot installing

As @AryeeteySolomonAryeetey states it is possible to run fastlane on Windows.

But we experienced a few more issue, before we were up and running:

  • Needs a terminal in interactive mode
  • ridk needs to be install - at least on some machines
  • Some fastlane commands does not work on Windows - you will have do some workarounds.

I have written a blogpost about the Automated Android deployment with Fastlane on Windows including a powershell setup script to do all the needed setup to be running Fastlane on Windows!


fastlane currently only runs on macOS and doesn't support Windows.

Update 2020: See answer below on how to get fastlane running on Windows.


  1. Install ruby on your windows machine.
  2. Go to your command line and type gem install fastlane -NV.
  3. You have fastlane on your windows machine ready.
