`mage` is missing from you system. You can find the installation steps here: [https://magefile.org/#installation](https://magefile.org/#installation) ---

If you run the [generated `make.bat`](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/generator/beat/%7Bbeat%7D/make.bat) that should bootstrap `mage` into your `$GOPATH/bin`. Assuming `$PATH` includes `$GOPATH/bin` then it should find `mage`. That being said, I'm not sure how well any of the Makefile logic works on Windows. ---

Thanks for the reply @andrewkroh. Actually I have installed GnuMake32 software for running make setup command. After running the make setup command in windows, I am able to generate mage.exe in C:\Go\bin path but on executing this mage.exe, I am getting below error C:\Go\bin\>mage.exe Error: failed to check types in directory: magefile.go:27:2: could not import [github.com/magefile/mage/mg](http://github.com/magefile/mage/mg) (cannot find package "[github.com/magefile/mage/mg](http://github.com/magefile/mage/mg)" in any of: c:\go\src\[github.com](http://github.com)\magefile\mage\mg (from $GOROOT) C:\Go\src\[github.com](http://github.com)\magefile\mage\mg (from $GOPATH)) Moreover, I am facing lot of issues and confusion in creating custom beat. Is there anyway to clarify my confusion regarding beat. I would be grateful if you can help ---

During `setup` the mage libraries should have been installed to the `vendor/` directory. You can install the project in a number of ways, but make sure you use the same version that we have in elastic/beats to ensure compatibility. > > [@sumanjha](#): > > Moreover, I am facing lot of issues and confusion in creating custom beat.
