Official driver is packaged usingGooGet andpublished through GCP repositories. All Google Cloud Windows images arepreconfigured with the GooGet tool and GCP repositories. If you need to installGooGet and set up repositories yourself, seePackaging and package distribution.

To install or upgrade the gvnic driver, run the following command:

googet install google-compute-engine-driver-gvnic

If you downloaded the source from GitHub, you will need to install WDK fromMicrosoftand compile the driver locally with:

msbuild /t:build gvnic.vcxproj /p:Configuration=[CONFIGURATION] /p:Platform=[PLATFORM]

Please follow Microsoftdocumentation foradditional steps on sigining/deployment.

This repository also contains a netsh plugin for configuring the adaptersettings through a command line. Usenetsh gvnic to see the usages.
