#### On Windows
#### On Windows MSVC
Install Git for Windows (https://git-scm.com/download/win). DO allow it to add git.exe to the PATH (default
settings for the installer are fine).
Install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (https://www.visualstudio.com/). You MUST add "Visual C++" to the
list of installed components. It is not on by default.
Install Python for Windows (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/). The windows x86-64 MSI installer is fine.
You should change the installation to install the "Add python.exe to Path" feature.
Install virtualenv.
In a normal Windows Shell (cmd.exe or "Command Prompt" from the start menu), do:
```
pip install virtualenv
```
If this does not work, you may need to reboot for the changed PATH settings (by the python installer) to take effect.
#### On Windows mingw
Download Python for Windows [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/). This is
required for the SpiderMonkey build on Windows.
