How to build Memgraph Docker Extension on Windows?

I usually use Mac most of the time. Now I got one Windows 11 based desktop and on it I would need to build Memgraph Docker Extension.

For some reason, I can't build it:

C:\Users\merkart\repositories> git clone https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph-docker-extension

C:\Users\merkart\repositories>cd memgraph-docker-extension

C:\Users\merkart\repositories\memgraph-docker-extension> make build-extension
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I've tried to install MSYS2, but I also had no luck with the build process.

pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl

What else could I try?

Solution

  • If you don't have make/cmake you can use docker build. I see that you have cloned the repo

    git clone https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph-docker-extension.git

    so just go to that folder and run:

    docker build --tag=memgraph/memgraph-docker-extension:1.1.0 .

    once build is done install the extension

    docker extension install memgraph/memgraph-docker-extension:1.1.0

    The tag, 1.1.0, is not so important if you are doing a local build. It's only important to use the same tag both when you are building and installing extension.
