Windows prerequisites

Rust

On Windows, the Rust compiler needs the Visual C++ Build tools:

Download the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools.

When installing, choose "Visual C++ build tools" in the "Workloads" tab. Also tick the optional feature "Windows SDK":

Install Rust.

Diesel

Open a cmd window and run the following command:

C:\Users\Rustacean>cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "sqlite"

Languages

You can support different optional languages:

C/C++

Go to https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/, expand the "MinGW Installation Manager (mingw-get)" category.

Download "mingw-get-setup.exe" and run the installation. Add your MinGW\bin installation directory to your Path environment variable (if you installed MinGW in C:\MinGW for example, add C:\MinGW\bin to your Path variable).

Open a new cmd window. Run mingw-get to install the compilers:

C:\Users\Rustacean>mingw-get install gcc g++

Check if they are working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>g++ --version
g++ (MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1) 6.3.0
...

C:\Users\Rustacean>gcc --version
gcc (MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1) 6.3.0
...

PHP

Download and install the latest supported Visual C runtime redistributable (vc_redist.x86.exe or vc_redist.x64.exe).

Go to https://windows.php.net/download.

Download the VCxx x64 Thread Safe archive if you chose the vc_redist.x64.exe or the VCxx x86 Thread Safe archive otherwise.

Extract the contents of the archive and add the resulting directory to your Path environment variable.

Open a new cmd window and check if the PHP interpreter is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>php --version
PHP 7.3.0 (cli) (built: Dec  6 2018 01:54:16) ( NTS MSVC15 (Visual C++ 2017) x64 )
...

Python

Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.

Click on Latest Python 3 Release - Python 3.x.x.

Scroll down to the "Files" section and download the Windows x86-64 executable installer version or the Windows x86 executable installer based on your system architecture.

Run the executable, and make sure to tick the "Add Python 3.x to PATH".

Open a new cmd window and check if the Python interpreter is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>python --version
Python 3.7.1

JavaScript

Go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/, download the Windows Installer (.msi) and run the installation.

While installing, make sure you keep the "Add to PATH" option.

Open a new cmd window and check if nodejs is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>node --version
v10.14.1

C# .NET / Visual Basic .NET

In the Windows Start Menu search bar, type "Visual Studio Installer" and run it (you should have it installed since you installed the build tools in the first section).

Click on the "Modify" button.

Check the "Visual Studio extension development" workload.

Open the "Visual Studio extension development" node in the summary tree on the right.

Check the box for ".NET Compiler Platform SDK". You'll find it last under the optional components.

You need to add the directory that contains the compiler to your Path environment variable: For example C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Roslyn (replace 2017 and 15.0 with your installed version).

Open a new cmd window and check if the compiler is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>csc /version
2.10.0.0 (b9fb1610)

Java

Go to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html, click on the first "Download" button.

Click on the "Accept license agreement" radio button, download the jdk-xx.x.x_windows-x64_bin.exe, and run the installation.

Add your jdk\bin installation directory to your Path environment variable (if you installed the jdk in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1 for example, add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1\bin to your Path variable).

Open a new cmd window and check if the compiler is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>javac -version
javac 11.0.1

Lua

Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/luabinaries/files/5.3, click on the green "Download Latest Version" button.

Extract the contents of the archive and add the resulting directory to your Path environment variable.

Open a new cmd window and check if the interpreter is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>lua53 -v
Lua 5.3.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2017 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

Kotlin

Go to https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/command-line.html#downloading-the-compiler and follow the "GitHub Releases" link.

Download the "kotlin-compiler-x.x.x.zip" file. Extract the contents of the archive and add your resulting Kotlin\bin directory to your Path environment variable (if you extracted Kotlin in C:\Program Files\Kotlin for example, add C:\Program Files\Kotlin\bin to your Path variable).

Open a new cmd window and check if the interpreter is working properly:

C:\Users\Rustacean>kotlinc -version
info: kotlinc-jvm 1.3.11 (JRE 1.8.0_121-b13)
