A word on text editors:
The text file editors that come with Windows, "edit" and "notepad", are unsuitable for editing source code for many reasons, but above all because they don't handle the line endings in Unix text files properly. Therefore, you'll need to install a Unix-capable text editor such as nano or Vim.
Nano is an easy-to-use editor designed for less experienced users. It's
available here as a precompiled Windows binary. Just extract nano.exe
from the archive and copy it to your path.
For advanced users with some knowledge of vi commands, Vim, a full-featured editor with advanced text highlighting capabilities, will be a better choice. Grab the Windows installer here and run it, accepting the defaults.
After installing Vim, you should add its executable directory C:\Program
Files\Vim\vim74 (your version number may be different) to your user path.
Editing user paths is explained here.
