3@AryeeteySolomonAryeetey, I am researching about fastlane for windows and saw this post of yours. I am trying to make fastlane work on my windows device but I don't actually know where and how to start. All I see are tutorials for macOS. I don't completely understand them and I was wondering if it would be worth my time to try harder if I want to learn Fastlane for my windows device? In short are the "steps" the same when working with Windows than in Mac? Thanks!! – Archie G. Quiñones Apr 04 '19 at 09:50

1I've successfully used it on windows as well. I had to run fastlane commands from MINGW64 terminal, because it relies on unix commands such as cat. – syonip May 11 '19 at 09:27

fastlane currently only runs on macOS and doesn't support Windows.
Update 2020: See answer below on how to get fastlane running on Windows.

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
ridkneeds 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!

1@WellingtonYogui I have not tried that on the windows machine because we run that lane on our CI - but I think would work just as other fastlane actions works on windows. – Morten Holmgaard Jun 05 '20 at 11:25

@JebaPrince I am investigating that - the website has been rewritten but the blog was supposed to still be there. – Morten Holmgaard Jul 26 '20 at 10:18

but does it work? According to official site it still only runs on macOS – ArieKanarie May 28 '18 at 09:26

1I guess the initial question doesn't mention if they want to mean the fastlane tool for mobile apps, or the npm fastlane, which is not related to the mobile app tool – KrauseFx Nov 24 '18 at 22:36
