Can it be used in windows? How it can be used in c++ #234

I am using windows. At beginning, I want to run sift test in python, but I cannot download bigann dataset using command line, it shows: 'wget' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Unpacking file: cat downloads\bigann_query.bvecs.gz | gzip -dc > bigann/bigann_query.bvecs 'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

I searched it, it seems not a command in windows. So I was wondering if this can be used in windows, and I don't know how it can be used in c++, I compile the file and run main.cpp. I got Loading GT:err.

Hi @ThresholDDD Oh. Not sure if is still relevant. You can use windows bash for downloading the files, or you can download them manually. The code should work for windows if cmake is installed.
