[Some Basic Unix Commands](https://www.tjhsst.edu/~dhyatt/superap/unixcmd.html)
### Windows
<!-- tabs:start -->
You will need to install MSYS2, Git, and the QMK CLI.
### ** Windows **
Follow the installation instructions on the [MSYS2 homepage](http://www.msys2.org). Close any open MSYS terminals and open a new MinGW 64-bit terminal. **NOTE: This is *not* the same as the MSYS terminal that opens when installation is completed.**
#### Prerequisites
Then, run the following:
You will need to install MSYS2, Git and Python. Follow the installation instructions on https://www.msys2.org.
Once MSYS2 is installed, close any open MSYS terminals and open a new MinGW 64-bit terminal.
!> **NOTE:** The MinGW 64-bit terminal is *not* the same as the MSYS terminal that opens when installation is completed. Your prompt should say "MINGW64" in purple text, rather than "MSYS". See [this page](https://www.msys2.org/wiki/MSYS2-introduction/#subsystems) for more information on the differences.
Then run the following command:
pacman --needed --noconfirm --disable-download-timeout -S git mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip
#### Installation
Install the QMK CLI by running:
python3 -m pip install qmk
### macOS
### ** macOS **
QMK maintains a Homebrew tap and formula which will automatically install the CLI and all necessary dependencies.
#### Prerequisites

Install the global CLI to bootstrap your system:
#### Installation

### ** FreeBSD **
#### Prerequisites
You will need to install Git and Python. It's possible that you already have both, but if not, run the following commands to install them:
pkg install git python3
Make sure that `$HOME/.local/bin` is added to your `$PATH` so that locally install Python packages are available.

Sadly, Ubuntu reitroduced this bug and is [yet to fix it](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1588562).
Luckily, the fix is easy. Run this as your user: `echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc`
### ** FreeBSD **
After installing QMK you can set it up with this command:
qmk setup
In most situations you will want to answer `y` to all of the prompts.
?>**Note on FreeBSD**:
It is suggested to run `qmk setup` as a non-`root` user to start with, but this will likely identify packages that need to be installed to your
base system using `pkg`. However the installation will probably fail when run as an unprivileged user.
To manually install the base dependencies, run `./util/qmk_install.sh` either as `root`, or with `sudo`.
Once that completes, re-run `qmk setup` to complete the setup and checks.

?> If you already know [how to use GitHub](getting_started_github.md), we recommend that you create your own fork and use `qmk setup <github_username>/qmk_firmware` to clone your personal fork. If you don't know what that means you can safely ignore this message.
