Installing the MinGW Dependency

Download the latest MinGW installation package from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/. Select a version based on the OS. For example, select x86_64-posix-seh for a 64-bit OS.
Decompress the MinGW installation package to a custom directory.
In the Windows 10 OS, choose Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings.
In the System Properties dialog box displayed, click Environment Variables. See Figure 1.

In the Edit environment variable dialog box, click New, enter the path of the bin directory generated after the MinGW installation package is decompressed, for example, D:\mingw64\bin, and click OK. See Figure 3.
