If neither Python nor MinGW is installed on your computer, the easiest way to
install most dependencies is to install
`Python(x,y) <http://www.pythonxy.com>`__.

It is a single installation

You can keep the default install options, except that the installation directory should not contain any blank space (in particular, do not install it into
``C:\Program Files``).

download the latest version of the ``Automated MinGW Installer`` and install
it (keeping default options).
- From `the MinGW files <http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/>`__,
download the latest ``MSYS Base System`` executable file and run it
(note that the latest version of MSYS Base System may not contain an
executable file, in which case it is easier to just use an
older version, e.g. MSYS-1.0.11.exe).
This will install MSYS (you can keep the default install options).
It will also run a post-install script where it will ask you about the
location of MinGW (typically ``c:/MinGW``).
- From `the MinGW files <http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/>`__,
download the current version of ``GCC Version 4`` (full package with
binaries, e.g.
gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma). Unpack it (you may use
`7-Zip <http://www.7-zip.org>`__ to unpack files with the
.lzma extension), copying the content into the root directory
of your MinGW installation (if you obtain a .tar file, make
sure you expand it as well, either with `7-Zip <http://www.7-zip.org>`__
or through the ``tar`` command on the MSYS command line).
- If you are familiar with vi, you may find useful to download and install
``MSYS vim`` (this is done in a similar way to GCC 4).
This is strictly optional and mostly helpful to edit configuration files
from within MSYS.
- Run MSYS (Start/Programs/MinGW/MSYS/MSYS) and check the installation
by verifying that the proper version of GCC is found:
.. code-block:: bash
gcc --version
You may also decide to change the location of your home directory by
adding a line at the beginning of msys.bat, that would look like
``set HOME=C:\My\Home\For\MinGW`` (you can also set a global ``HOME``
environment variable within Windows, but this could affect more programs).
download the latest version of the ``Automated MinGW Installer``
(``mingw-get-inst``) and install it with all optional components (although
you probably do not need them all: if you feel like figuring out exactly
which ones are required, let us know!).
- If you do not have them already, install the latest versions of
`Python 2.x <http://www.python.org/download/windows>`__ and
