We provide a Windows Installer that automatically downloads and extracts the MANTIS source code and toolchain. To get started, you should download and run the installer.
The installer will ask you what features you want to be installed, including the option of installing the latest unstable version of MOS.
The installer will also install the Cygwin unix environment for windows, with all the necessary components selected.
Once the installer has completed, there are a few final tweaks that you'll need to make before you can start working.

The very last thing that you'll need to do is add the MANTIS toolchain's bin directory to your cygwin path. To do this, fire up the Cygwin shell and type
cd ~/ && notepad .bashrc
add the following line to the end of the file, save and quit:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/mantis-tools/bin
For example:
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/mantis/mantis-devel-cygwin/bin
Tip:
Make sure to re-execute the .bashrc file before you try to continue; you can do this by closing and re-opening the cygwin prompt, or typing 'source ~/.bashrc' in your existing prompt. You'll only need to do this once.
If you're going to be using TelosB nodes with MANTIS on Windows, you'll also need to install a Virtual COM Port driver, which you can find at this page. This assigns a windows COM device (ie, COM3, COM8, etc...) to the USB Node so that the tools can address it as they would under linux.
