For Windows, we also have a portable ZIP which you can unpack somewhere in your `PATH`. Make sure to put boxes.exe and
boxes.cfg in the same directory. Get the ZIP file
[here](https://github.com/{{ site.github }}/releases/download/v{{ site.currentVersion }}/boxes-{{
site.currentVersion }}-intel-win32.zip).

We also have a [Vim syntax file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/{{ site.github }}/master/boxes.vim){:target="_blank"}
which enables the Vim editor to apply syntax highlighting to *boxes* config files.
