gcc or g++ not recognised solution using MinGW64 Files.

Error: ‘gcc’ is not recognized as an internal or external command. Step by Step Solution:

1. Download MinGW64 Compiler Files from :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fYHziV6Xq4DwK6SqGSKE-TKXg7USoHwP/view?usp=sharing

(All files are downloaded from DevC++ )

or

If you have Dev-C++ already installed you can go the Location C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64

MinGW64 Location inside Dev-C++

Download Dev-C++ from sourceforge.net

2. Inside the MinGW64 folder copy the address from search bar

Like in my System it is, C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\bin

mingw64 path

3. Open the Environment Variables Options in Windows

Simply paste the above path in new PATH VARIABLE.

4. Restart Your CMD , Now You are ready to run gcc and g++ commands.

Now this should give the following error, its showing that it is working.

D:\>gcc
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

5. Test by compiling a cpp file

CPP FILE SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THIS LOCATION

D:\>g++ -o program file.cpp

then to run program.exe

D:\>program

Now this will not give any error.
