Moving to West
##############
To convert a "pre-west" Zephyr setup on your computer to west, follow these
steps. If you are starting from scratch, use the :ref:`getting_started`
instead. See :ref:`west-troubleshooting` for advice on common issues.
#. Install west.
On Linux::
pip3 install --user -U west
On Windows and macOS::
pip3 install -U west
For details, see :ref:`west-install`.
#. Move your zephyr repository to a new :file:`zephyrproject` parent directory,
and change directory there.
On Linux and macOS::
mkdir zephyrproject
mv zephyr zephyrproject
cd zephyrproject
On Windows ``cmd.exe``::
mkdir zephyrproject
move zephyr zephyrproject
chdir zephyrproject
The name :file:`zephyrproject` is recommended, but you can choose any name
with no spaces anywhere in the path.
#. Create a :ref:`west installation <west-installation>` using the zephyr
repository as a local manifest repository::
west init -l zephyr
This creates :file:`zephyrproject/.west`, marking the root of your
installation, and does some other setup. It will not change the contents of
the zephyr repository in any way.
#. Clone the rest of the repositories used by zephyr::
west update
**Make sure to run this command whenever you pull zephyr.** Otherwise, your
local repositories will get out of sync. (Run ``west list`` for current
information on these repositories.)
You are done: :file:`zephyrproject` is now set up to use west.
