## MinGW
The standard way of running Rust on Windows is via the [MinGW/MSYS](http://www.mingw.org/) environment:
1. Click "Downloads" at the top of the page, download and run mingw-get-setup.exe.
2. Once package manager window opens, check the "mingw32-base" option.
1. Click "Downloads" on the left-hand side of the page, download and run mingw-get-setup.exe.
2. Once the package manager window opens, check the "mingw32-base" option.
3. Optionally, check "msys-base" to install MSYS shell.
4. Apply changes (Installation/Apply Changes).
4. Apply changes (Installation > Apply Changes).
5. If you installed MSYS, launch MSYS shell, `<mingw>\msys\1.0\msys.bat`, type `sh /postinstall/pi.sh`, and answer the questions.
6. Use Rust compiler from MSYS shell (bonus: rustc will output colored error messages!). Or, simply add `<mingw>\bin` to your PATH and use it from the Windows Command Prompt.
