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 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).
5. Use Rust compiler from MSYS shell (if you installed it), or, simply add \<mingw\>\bin to your PATH.
5. Use Rust compiler from MSYS shell, if you installed it (bonus: rustc will use colors in error messages!). Or, simply add \<mingw\>\bin to your PATH and use it from Windows Command Prompt.
For the absolutely minimal install footprint, don't mark any packages for installation, but simply run `mingw-get install gcc` from the command prompt.
## Alternatives
If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you can try using a standalone MinGW GCC distribution such as [mingw-builds](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/):
