platforms you need to build from a [tarball][]. to be distributing binary packages for various operating systems in
the future.
If you're on windows, download and run the installer. It should install
a self-contained set of tools and libraries to `C:\Program Files\Rust`,
and add `C:\Program Files\Rust\bin` to your `PATH` environment variable.
You should then be able to run the rust compiler as `rustc` directly
from the command line.
On Windows Rust additionally requires [MinGW][mingw] (version
20110802 is known to work). It is currently recommended that windows
development be done under the MinGW shell to ensure that the
environment is configured correctly.
We hope to be distributing binary packages for various other operating
systems at some point in the future, but at the moment only windows
binary installers are being made. Other operating systems must build
from "source".
