How to install C compiler in Windows







  • First you need to download MingGW.
  • Click here to download MingGW
  • After downloading it,double click and run the the downloaded application
  • It'll download some files after you running it, like shown in the figure below.

  • The it'll open up a window where you have to do some selections. Just do like what I've done in the picture below. 


  • What you have to do is put a tick mark to "mingw32-base" which will basically install the C compiler.
  • If you want to install C++ compiler put a tick mark to "mingw32gcc-g++" which I have done in the above picture.
  • Now just click the "Installation" menu and click "Apply Changes".
  • Then it'l start installing the C compiler which will take some time.
  • After finishing the installation open up command prompt and then just copy and paste the given code line below.
  • setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin;
  • Now this sets the environmental variable path for GCC compiler ( if you don't know what's the path just ignore it, now the compiler has installed correctly )
  • Now everything is done!
