1. Download the latest [MSYS2 installer][msys2] and go through the installer.
2. Run `mingw32_shell.bat` or `mingw64_shell.bat` from the MSYS2 installation
directory (e.g. `C:\msys64`), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit
Rust. (As of the latest version of MSYS2 you have to run `msys2_shell.cmd
-mingw32` or `msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64` from the command line instead.)
2. Start a MINGW64 or MINGW32 shell (depending on whether you want 32-bit
or 64-bit Rust) either from your start menu, or by running `mingw64.exe`
or `mingw32.exe` from your MSYS2 installation directory (e.g. `C:\msys64`).

4. Navigate to Rust's source code (or clone it), then build it:
```sh
python x.py setup user && python x.py build && python x.py install
python x.py setup dist && python x.py build && python x.py install
```
If you want to use the native versions of Git, Python, or CMake you can remove
them from the above pacman command and install them from another source. Make
sure that they're in your Windows PATH, and edit the relevant `mingw[32|64].ini`
file in your MSYS2 installation directory by uncommenting the line
`MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit` to include them in your MSYS2 PATH.
Using Windows native Python can be helpful if you get errors when building LLVM.
You may also want to use Git for Windows, as it is often *much* faster. Turning
off real-time protection in the Windows Virus & Threat protections settings can
also help with long run times (although note that it will automatically turn
itself back on after some time).
### MSVC
MSVC builds of Rust additionally require an installation of Visual Studio 2017
