6.3. Windows Notes

Juno runs on Windows with the same functionality as Linux/macOS, with the differences below.

Launcher¶

juno.bat at the project root delegates to scripts\run.bat. Requires JDK 25+ on PATH or JAVA_HOME set. All flags, environment variable overrides, and subcommands documented across this site are identical across platforms; only the launcher name and path separators change.

Path and syntax differences¶

• Use backslashes for paths, for example --model-path models\model.gguf.

• Multi-line commands use the caret (^) line continuation instead of the backslash (\) used in bash examples.

• Setting an environment variable for a single command uses set VAR=value on its own line (Command Prompt) rather than VAR=value ./command.

Every code example in this documentation that shows a ./juno ... command has a Windows equivalent using juno.bat with these substitutions; see the CLI reference pages for side-by-side examples.

GPU support¶

CUDA GPU acceleration is supported on Windows (NVIDIA only). ROCm is Linux-only, so AMD GPU acceleration and the AMD GPU test suite are not available on Windows. CPU-only inference works identically on both platforms.
