1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,380 ‫So in this video, we're going to install the C and C++ compiler for Windows. 2 00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:13,580 ‫So this is where we left off in the last video we had installed VS Code and these two extensions over 3 00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:16,670 ‫here, C, C++ and Code Runner. 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,600 ‫But we have to install the compiler separately. 5 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:30,770 ‫So in order to do that, we're going to come over here to where it says GCSE and Ming W W 64 on Windows 6 00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:32,090 ‫and we'll click on this. 7 00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,540 ‫And that'll bring up this link in this web browser. 8 00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:41,190 ‫And it's just a series of steps to be able to install the compiler. 9 00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:44,420 ‫So I'm going to scroll this up a little bit here. 10 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:52,400 ‫And these first two steps here we've already completed first to install Visual Studio code and then 11 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:59,810 ‫to install the C and C++ extension for VTS code, which is what this is over here. 12 00:01:00,410 --> 00:01:04,130 ‫And then we're going to do these two steps here. 13 00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:12,830 ‫It says, to get the latest version of this software, you go to this website here and then in step 14 00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:19,520 ‫four, it just says, follow the instructions on that website, especially step seven. 15 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,160 ‫So I'm going to come up here and click on this and that opens this page. 16 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:32,480 ‫So I'll scroll up a little bit here, and if you click on this box, it will download the installer. 17 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,800 ‫So I'll click on this. 18 00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:40,340 ‫And then once that downloads, I'm going to click on Open File, or you could go to your downloads folder 19 00:01:40,340 --> 00:01:43,910 ‫and double click on it there, but I'll just open it from here. 20 00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:52,850 ‫And what I will also do is minimize Visual Studio code and just focus on these windows. 21 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,150 ‫But I will just accept all of the defaults. 22 00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:58,140 ‫We will need this directory path. 23 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,610 ‫I'm going to leave that as default. 24 00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:06,650 ‫I recommend that you do that as well, but I'll just finish clicking through this and let this install. 25 00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:14,530 ‫So once this finishes installing, you'll get this screen, make sure that this box is checked and click 26 00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:15,460 ‫finish. 27 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:19,840 ‫And that will bring up this window over here. 28 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,740 ‫So if we go back to our browser, there are some other steps we have to do here. 29 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,210 ‫This step is just saying make sure that box is checked and click finish. 30 00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:30,680 ‫That's what we just did. 31 00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:35,810 ‫But there are a few things that we have to do at the command line here to finish the install. 32 00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:40,420 ‫So in step five here, we're going to just. 33 00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:42,570 ‫Highlight this. 34 00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:50,600 ‫I'm just going to right click, say copy and then come over and paste this in at the command line. 35 00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:55,730 ‫And I'll press enter and then it will install some additional software. 36 00:02:57,170 --> 00:03:01,160 ‫And there are a few times that will have to indicate yes or no. 37 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,920 ‫And you will always choose yes. 38 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,050 ‫Just do y and enter. 39 00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:09,660 ‫And then again it's asking you yes or no. 40 00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:11,220 ‫We'll just say yes. 41 00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:13,910 ‫And that screen will disappear. 42 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:22,280 ‫And we'll come back over to our Web browser and go to step six and it says, Run this from the start 43 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,910 ‫menu. 44 00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:25,430 ‫So I'll come down here to the start menu. 45 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,400 ‫And I'll say M s y s and you can see that this comes up as the best match. 46 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,270 ‫I'll press enter and that opens this window again. 47 00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:43,590 ‫So then I'll come over here and highlight this and I'll say, Copy. 48 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,870 ‫Then I'll paste this. 49 00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:51,870 ‫I like doing a copy and paste because it makes it where I am not going to have any typos and I'll press 50 00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:52,380 ‫enter. 51 00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,230 ‫And down here, we'll say yes. 52 00:03:57,020 --> 00:04:01,850 ‫And then one final step here is step seven. 53 00:04:03,690 --> 00:04:07,050 ‫Well, highlight this and we'll say copy. 54 00:04:07,790 --> 00:04:12,230 ‫Come over here and we'll paste this and press enter. 55 00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:15,970 ‫And then down here it says, enter a selection. 56 00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:17,140 ‫Default is all. 57 00:04:17,140 --> 00:04:20,650 ‫You just have to press enter and they will say yes. 58 00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:25,210 ‫So that step takes a little while to install. 59 00:04:25,210 --> 00:04:29,710 ‫So I'm just fast forwarding to here and it will look something like this. 60 00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:33,580 ‫So that's everything that we need to do on that tab of the browser. 61 00:04:33,850 --> 00:04:39,940 ‫I'm going to come back to our original tab here and move down to step five. 62 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,060 ‫So in this step, we need to add a path for the bin folder for this software. 63 00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:51,650 ‫So step one and the Windows search bar type settings. 64 00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:59,990 ‫So I'll do that by coming down here and just typing in settings and I'll press enter and we'll come 65 00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:06,590 ‫back to the browser here and search for edit environmental variables for your account. 66 00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:14,060 ‫So you just come over here for find a setting and I'll say edit environmental variables and you can 67 00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:17,750 ‫see where this came up here and I'll click on this. 68 00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:20,980 ‫Come back over here to our instructions. 69 00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:27,460 ‫Step three Choose the path variable in your user variables and select. 70 00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:31,660 ‫Edit So very important that you do user variables. 71 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:35,530 ‫And what we're going to type in there is going to be this. 72 00:05:35,530 --> 00:05:37,760 ‫So I'm going to go ahead and copy this. 73 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,170 ‫This is why I suggest that you use the default where this installs. 74 00:05:42,170 --> 00:05:49,130 ‫If you didn't use the default, you will need to use the appropriate path for wherever you installed 75 00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:49,730 ‫this. 76 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,100 ‫So coming back over here, you can see that this is user variables and then system variables. 77 00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:58,040 ‫We want user variables. 78 00:05:58,310 --> 00:06:00,800 ‫Make sure you highlight path. 79 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,120 ‫And here we're going to click edit. 80 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,230 ‫And then we're going to click on New. 81 00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:12,710 ‫I'm going to paste this here and I'll click okay. 82 00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:15,650 ‫And then I'll click okay again. 83 00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:19,630 ‫And then I'll also close this settings folder. 84 00:06:20,540 --> 00:06:24,110 ‫So now we're going to check our installation. 85 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,200 ‫So to check the installation, we'll need a command prompt. 86 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,670 ‫So I'll come down here and I'm going to type in command. 87 00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,430 ‫And when I click Enter. 88 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,200 ‫And then we need to come down here. 89 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,190 ‫I will copy and paste this or you can just type it as G plus plus. 90 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:45,210 ‫And then dash dash version. 91 00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:48,700 ‫So I'll paste that here. 92 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,940 ‫And press enter. 93 00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:54,570 ‫And you can see that we have a version number here. 94 00:06:55,170 --> 00:07:00,210 ‫If this was not installed, instead of getting the version number, it would indicate that there is 95 00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:03,150 ‫some kind of problem that this can't be found. 96 00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:07,890 ‫So we'll do that for this line down here as well. 97 00:07:08,310 --> 00:07:10,770 ‫And I'll say copy. 98 00:07:12,250 --> 00:07:14,380 ‫And then I'll say Paste. 99 00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:19,980 ‫And you can see that we have a version number for this as well. 100 00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:24,330 ‫So now we can go ahead and close the command prompt. 101 00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:30,040 ‫And if you scroll up some more, it's going to say Create Hello World. 102 00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:35,420 ‫Now I'm not going to do it the way they do it here on this Web page where you're going to do all of 103 00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:38,450 ‫this from the command line to make a directory or whatever. 104 00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:46,040 ‫So you can either do this from the command line or you can just create a folder somewhere in windows. 105 00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:48,140 ‫And that's the way I'm going to do this. 106 00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:49,730 ‫I already have a folder created. 107 00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:54,800 ‫I'm going to minimize all of this and bring these code back up. 108 00:07:55,670 --> 00:08:01,370 ‫So you can create that folder wherever you want on your desktop or in your documents folder or wherever 109 00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:02,990 ‫I'm going to come up to file. 110 00:08:03,290 --> 00:08:06,170 ‫And then I'm going to say Open folder. 111 00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:10,060 ‫So I have mine in my documents folder. 112 00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:12,760 ‫I've called mine Seip. 113 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:15,100 ‫I must select this folder. 114 00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:20,530 ‫And then I want to say, yes, I trust the authors because that's me. 115 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360 ‫And you can see that CP folder is open here. 116 00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:29,870 ‫This is our folders for the code that will create in the course. 117 00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:37,670 ‫When I come up to miscellaneous and I have Hello World CP so I'm going to click on this. 118 00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:41,170 ‫And I have a hello world over here. 119 00:08:41,180 --> 00:08:42,110 ‫Simple program. 120 00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:47,660 ‫Just need to make sure that C++ is working, and I'll click on this play button up here, which will 121 00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:48,740 ‫run the code. 122 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:57,850 ‫And you can see down here that that is printed out hello world, which means that our compiler is installed 123 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:59,020 ‫correctly. 124 00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:06,330 ‫So now that you're done with this step, go to the additional configuration video that will apply to 125 00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:14,220 ‫all operating systems Windows, Linux and Mac and I will see you in that video.
