A complete guide for installation of VS code and MSYS2 .

 Hello world !

This is probably the first program that everyone writes in any language , obviously because any journey starts with a greeting . To begin to code in your system you need two different things the one is where you write the code i.e. Code editor and another is a compiler or set of software or library or modules that will run your code into.

There are many options when it comes to have a code editor or a compiler  , personally , I  feel Vs code is good enough for different language it supports almost all language and have some great extension to keep you awake in due course of coding.

some are as live server , prettier , and many more .

then comes the compiler , 

basically , it compiles the code .

MINGW-w64 is good to go ,also the 

MSYS2

Let's start :👀

1. open your web browser , if you are here then you are already on web browser ;😂

    search for vs code .

2. click on the very first result :                                                                                                                         

3. According to your system compatibility and the type of operating system you use click on download button and yeah that's all to this part .

Now, it's come where you have to start installing the vs code click on the download file that will run into an APK and it lands in a setup page . click yes to every part and yeah you are done .

Now, let's setup MSYS2

1) copy the following link in your browser  to download the MSYS2 installer .

https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2022-06-03/msys2-x86_64-20220603.exe

2)Once , you have downloaded the installer , open the installer  

and click next to all                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                  

3) It leads to opening an installer terminal.

4) In terminal 

   copy the following command   $ pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc                                                                                                                                                                               

🙄type y if any y/n question is asked ..

once everything gets installed .

come to your file explorer and search in C:drive for MSYS-64 folder click on the folder search for mingw-64 folder 

there is a bin folder open it and copy the path 

5) Again , open your setting and search for environment   variables you will land here 

click on environment variables 

in the first dialogue box click on path and thereafter on edit 

 this lands you here 

click on new and paste the bin folder location in most cases it is (C:\msys64\mingw64\bin)    and finally click OK 😊

Now, open command prompt and chek for the successful installation and run 

gcc --version
g++ --version

YES, and here we are done with installation of code editor and MSYS2

for any further details chek these two link

if you stuck somewhere you can drop us mail with screenshot or reach to me on our social handles 

Another part is for those who don't want to install any code editor or compiler can go with cloud programming website like replit it could be more useful to those who work on low hardware component.

They are very useful since they allow you team work , sharing of code and many more you just need a web browser and an active internet connection . since i personally use Replit for python , i am here giving you link search on google or click here .

✔ create an account and choose the language and yeah you are good to go
