We'll keep things simple for now. If you want to read about more methods to get things up and running, see the wiki's [Installation methods](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/wiki/Installation-methods) section.
1. Download the MIPS toolchain here : [http://static.grumpycoder.net/pixel/mips/g++-mipsel-none-elf-10.3.0.zip](http://static.grumpycoder.net/pixel/mips/g++-mipsel-none-elf-10.3.0.zip)
2. Unzip anywhere on your hard-drive and add the `bin` folder to [your $PATH](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44272416/how-to-add-a-folder-to-path-environment-variable-in-windows-10-with-screensho#44272417).
3. Test everything is fine by [launching a command prompt](https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-open-command-prompt-2618089) and typing `mipsel-none-elf-gcc.exe --version`. If you get a message like `mipsel-none-gnu-gcc (GCC) 10.3.0`, then it's working !
1. Download the PsyQ converted libraries here : [http://psx.arthus.net/sdk/Psy-Q/psyq-4_7-converted-light.zip](http://psx.arthus.net/sdk/Psy-Q/psyq-4_7-converted-light.zip)
5. Test everything is working by [launching a command prompt](https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-open-command-prompt-2618089), change to the `C:\psxdev\` directory with the following command: `cd C:\psxdev\`, then type `make` and hit enter.
By default, this should build the `hello_world` example, and you should now have a `hello_world.ps-exe` file in `C:\psxdev\hello_world`. This a PSX executable that can be run in an emulator like [pcsx-redux](https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux/).
On Arch derivatives (Manjaro), the mipsel environment can be installed from [AUR](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aur) : [cross-mipsel-linux-gnu-binutils](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-mipsel-linux-gnu-binutils/) and [cross-mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross-mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc/) using your [AURhelper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers) of choice:
By default, this should build the `hello_world` example, and you should now have a `hello_world.ps-exe` file in `./hello_world/`. This a PSX executable that can be run in an emulator like [pcsx-redux](https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux/).
Everything here was learnt from some more talented persons, mainly but not excluding others that hang around on the [psxdev discord](https://discord.com/channels/642647820683444236/642848627823345684)
