Summary
This post provides detailed instructions for running Milvus 2.0 on Windows, covering two primary methods: compiling from source code and installing from a binary package. For compilation, it outlines prerequisites like the MinGW64/MSYS toolchain, cloning the specific `windows-dev` branch, installing dependencies via `scripts/install_deps_msys.sh`, and compiling using `make` and `scripts/package_windows.sh`. For binary installation, it guides users to download pre-compiled releases, unzip the package, and start the necessary services (MinIO, etcd, Milvus) using provided batch scripts, followed by running a `hello_milvus.py` example.
