## Using `bat` on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
`bat` mostly works out-of-the-box on Windows, but a few features may need extra configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Paging
|
||||
|
||||
Windows only includes a very limited pager in the form of `more`. You can download a Windows binary
|
||||
for `less` [from its homepage](http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/download.html) or [through
|
||||
Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/Less). To use it, place the binary in a directory in
|
||||
your `PATH` or [define an environment variable](#using-a-different-pager).
|
||||
|
||||
### Colours
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 natively supports colours in both `conhost.exe` (Command Prompt) and PowerShell since
|
||||
[v1511](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history#Version_1511_(November_Update)), as
|
||||
well as in newer versions of bash. On earlier versions of Windows, you can use
|
||||
[Cmder](http://cmder.net/), which includes [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The Git and MSYS versions of `less` do not correctly interpret colours on Windows. If you
|
||||
don’t have any other pagers installed, you can disable paging entirely by passing `--paging=never`
|
||||
or by setting `BAT_PAGER` to an empty string.
