+# Windows Installation Guide
+
+The `opengradient` package requires a C compiler
+to build its native dependencies. Windows does not
+have one by default.
+
+## Step 1 — Enable WSL
+
+Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
+
+    wsl --install
+
+Restart your PC when prompted.
+
+## Step 2 — Install Python and uv inside WSL
+
+Open the Ubuntu app and run:
+
+    sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3 curl
+    curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+    source $HOME/.local/bin/env
+
+## Step 3 — Install SDK
+
+    uv add opengradient
+
+## Step 4 — Verify
+
+    uv run python3 -c "import opengradient; print('Ready!')"
+
+## Common Errors
+
+- Visual C++ 14.0 required → Use WSL instead
+- wsl: command not found → Update Windows 10 to Build 19041+
+- WSL stuck → Enable Virtualization in BIOS
+- uv: command not found → Run: source $HOME/.local/bin/env
