Make sure the `C:/mingw-w64/bin` directory is in system's PATH, verify that by running `gcc` in your terminal.

#### Visual Studio
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Download and install Visual Studio. The community edition will suffice. In the installer select `Visual Studio core editor`, `Desktop development with C++`, and `Windows 10 SDK`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Download](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-7.1.0/LLVM-7.1.0-win32.exe) and install Clang. The installer is ~130 MB. It will use Visual Studio's libraries and linker, but the compiler has to be Clang. V can't be compiled with Microsoft's C compiler. Make sure you check `Add Clang to PATH` when installing it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# You can clone V anywhere
|
||||||
|
git clone https://github.com/vlang/v
|
||||||
|
cd v
|
||||||
|
# Download the V compiler's source translated to C
|
||||||
|
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vlang/vc/master/v.c
|
||||||
|
clang -m32 -w -o v.exe v.c # Build it with Clang
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your Windows version doesn't have `curl` installed, you can install it, or simply download the `v.c` file via a browser.
