My experience with setting up my programming environment was kind of messy. Here is why:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, I use Windows as my operating system, so I looked for Cygwin and installed it from its webpage (https:\/\/www.cygwin.com\/<\/a>). I had not trouble doing that. The problem started when I had to select the packages. I knew I had to installl\u00a0gcc-g++ and make, but the problem was that at first I couldn’t find them because I\u00a0did’t know how to look for them,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0so what I did was to look for help on the Internet; thus, I found this page to help me:\u00a0http:\/\/cs.calvin.edu\/curriculum\/cs\/112\/resources\/installingEclipse\/cygwin\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You might wonder why I said at first that it was messy because all I had to do was download it and then follow the instructions from a webpage, and that sounds easy.\u00a0I thought so too. Also, I thought I was finished when I did the second step of installing Atom (https:\/\/atom.io\/<\/a><\/span>). However, that wasn’t the case.\u00a0I don’t why, but the packages of Cygwin weren’t installed on my computer when I tried to run it, so I had to install Cygwin again. For that,\u00a0I watched Ken’s tutorial on how to install Cygwin (https:\/\/youtu.be\/i2h_976SpV0<\/span>)<\/a>, I followed every single instruction, and finally, my programming environment was finally correctly set up!<\/p>\n

And this is how I felt when I had to install the packages:<\/a>(Credit goes to Flickr user Post Memes: \u00a0https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/113181945@N04\/14789542197\/<\/a>\u00a0)<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
