  10 #### Notes
  11 * Update to latest release (per your specification in ~/.composer/composer.json): `composer global update`
  12 * Install a specific version of Drush:
  13
  14         # Install a specific version of Drush, e.g. Drush 7.1.0
  15         composer global require drush/drush:7.1.0
  16
  17         # Install 8.x branch as a git clone. Great for contributing back to Drush project.
  18         composer global require drush/drush:8.x-dev --prefer-source
  19
  20 * Alternate way to install for all users via Composer:
  21
  22         COMPOSER_HOME=/opt/drush COMPOSER_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin COMPOSER_VENDOR_DIR=/opt/drush/7 composer require drush/drush:7
  23
  24 * [Documentation for composer's require command.](http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#require)
  25 * Uninstall with : `composer global remove drush/drush`
  26
  27 Windows
  28 ------------
  29 Drush on Windows is experimental, since Drush's test suite is not running there ([help wanted](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/1612)).
  30
  31 * [Acquia Dev Desktop](https://www.acquia.com/downloads) is excellent, and includes Drush. See the terminal icon after setting up a web site.
  32 * Or consider running Linux/OSX via Virtualbox. [Drupal VM](http://www.drupalvm.com/) and [Vlad](https://github.com/hashbangcode/vlad) are popular.* These Windows packages include Drush and its dependencies (including MSys).     * [7.0.0 (stable)](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/7.0.0/windows-7.0.0.zip).    * [6.6.0](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/6.6.0/windows-6.6.0.zip).    * [6.0](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/6.0.0/Drush-6.0-2013-08-28-Installer-v1.0.21.msi).
  33 * Or install LAMP on your own, and run Drush via [Git's shell](https://git-for-windows.github.io/), in order to insure that [all depedencies](https://github.com/acquia/DevDesktopCommon/tree/8.x/bintools-win/msys/bin) are available.
  34 * When creating site aliases for Windows remote machines, pay particular attention to information presented in the example.aliases.drushrc.php file, especially when setting values for 'remote-host' and 'os', as these are very important when running Drush rsync and Drush sql-sync commands.
