+### Running on Windows using Mingw-w64
+
+Installing `lua-vips` on Windows is a bit harder than on Unix systems. We recommend using MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) for the installation. Here are the steps:
+
+1. Install [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) to the default path.
+2. Start Mingw-w64 64bit console from the start menu. Check that is says MINGW64. The following steps happen in that console.
+3. Update MSYS2 using
+   ```shell
+      pacman -Syuu
+   ```
+4. Install the build tools (including Lua 5.4 and Luarocks) via
+   ```shell
+      pacman -S git make mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-lua-luarocks
+   ```
+5. Install `libvips` with (optional) dependencies via
+   ```shell
+      pacman -S
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-libvips
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-openslide
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-libheif
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-libjxl
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick
+         mingw-w64-x86_64-poppler
+   ```
+6. Optionally: If you want to use `lua-vips` with LuaJIT instead of Lua 5.4 install LuaJIT via
+   ```shell
+      pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-luajit
+      luarocks config --scope system lua_version 5.1
+      luarocks config --scope system lua_interpreter luajit.exe
+      luarocks config --scope system variables.LUA_DIR /mingw64/bin
+      luarocks config --scope system variables.LUA_INCDIR /mingw64/include/luajit-2.1/
+      luarocks config --scope system rocks_provided.luaffi-tkl 2.1-1
+   ```
+7. Install `lua-vips` via
+   ```shell
+      luarocks install lua-vips
+   ```
+   or clone the repository and run `luarocks make` in the `lua-vips` folder.
+8.  Add `C:\msys64\mingw64\bin` and `C:\msys64\usr\bin` to the top of your `PATH`
+   environment variable in the Windows Advanced system settings and restart the console.
+
+9.  Run `lua` or `luajit` and try
+    ```lua
+    vips = require "vips"
+    print(vips.Image.xyz(3,2))
+    ```
+
