### Compiling the runtime

!!! note "Pre-built eBPF for Windows binaries"
You may be able to download precompiled binaries from the [efW CI/CD] pipeline.
Look for an artifact called "Build-x64-Debug", which should contain
`setup-ebpf.ps1` mentioned below.

After compilation finishes you can install the runtime:
The upstream instructions currently explain how to compile the full project, which takes quite a long time.
It is possible to build only some parts from the command line:

* Installer: `msbuild /m /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64 ebpf-for-windows.sln -t:"installer\ebpf-for-windows"`
* Unit tests: `msbuild /m /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64 ebpf-for-windows.sln -t:"tests\unit_tests"`
* Clean: `msbuild /m /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64 ebpf-for-windows.sln -t:"Clean"`

After compilation of the installer finishes you can install the runtime:

```
.\x64\Debug\setup-ebpf.ps1
