If \"Varnam Windows\" does not show up in your input language section drawer (`Win + Space`), follow these steps:\n\n1. Open Settings.\n2. Navigate to `Time \u0026 Language`, then select `Language`.\n3. Click on `Add a language` and search for the desired language from the search window pop up.\n4. Click on the installed language and select `Options`.\n5. In the `Keyboard` options, click on `Add a keyboard` and select `Varnam Windows`.\n6. `Varnam Windows` should now appear as an input method in your language selection drawer.\n\nMake sure to enable Varnam by switching the toggle button in your Task Bar.\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n\n![Varnam Toggle Switch](.assets/varnam-toggle.png)\n![Varnam Screenshot](.assets/varnam-screenshot.png)\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n## Build\n\n**Prerequisites:**\n- Windows 64 bit\n- [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) (Including command-line utils: `lib.exe` and `gendef.exe`)\n- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) and [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html)\n- [Go](https://go.dev/)\n- [msys64](https://www.msys2.org/)\n- [PowerShell](https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9MZ1SNWT0N5D)\n\n### Setup:\n\n**1.** Open the project **Varnam Windows** by opening the file `cpp\\VarnamWindows.sln` in Visual Studio.\n\n**2.** Build and compile the bundle:\n\n```\nBuild -\u003e Build Varnam Windows\n```\n\nThis should:\n1. Build Govarnam, Rust native IME, and the SampleIME-cpp in sequence.\n2. Build the necessary DLL, LIB, and PDB files into the `varnam-windows\\cpp\\x64\\Debug` directory.\n3. Fetch the latest language schemes from https://github.com/varnamproject/schemes.\n4. Import words from the VLF files into the language schemes.\n5. Setup language choice configuration.\n\n**3.** Open \"Command Prompt\" as Administrator, navigate to `varnam-windows\\cpp\\x64\\Debug` and register the DLL to install Varnam as the native IME for the supported languages.\n\n```\nregsvr32 \"Varnam Windows.dll\"\n```\n\nTo unregister the DLL, run:\n\n```\nregsvr32 /u \"Varnam Windows.dll\"\n```\n\n**4.** Compile the `varnam-windows.iss` using [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) to package and generate the Varnam Setup Wizard (`Varnam Windows Install.exe`).\n\n---","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvarnamproject%2Fvarnam-windows","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvarnamproject%2Fvarnam-windows","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvarnamproject%2Fvarnam-windows/lists"}
