If you're running Visual Studio 2019, select either Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 or Developer PowerShell for VS 2019. Select Start, and then scroll to the letter V.Įxpand the Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2022 folder. Select the App result that's associated with your search text. , and then in the Type here to search dialog box, enter either developer command prompt or developer powershell. You may have multiple command prompts, depending on the version of Visual Studio and any additional SDKs and workloads you've installed. On the menu bar, select Tools > Command Line > Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell.Īnother way to start the shells is from the Start menu. Popular commandsįollow these steps to open Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell from within Visual Studio: After opening one of these shells, you can enter the commands for different utilities without having to know where they're located. This behavior makes it convenient to run commands against the solution or its projects.īoth shells have specific environment variables set that enable you to use command-line developer tools more easily. When you open one of the developer shells from Visual Studio, either as a separate app or in the Terminal window, it opens to the directory of your current solution (if you have a solution loaded). If you're looking for the equivalent in Visual Studio Code-also known as VS Code-see Command Line Interface (CLI) and Terminal Basics.

Thanks for all the responses, especially to RidderHaddock and _mutaz_ who gave me best directions.This page describes how to use the command-line shells in Visual Studio.

This exe file can be started by simply executing filename in command prompt or even from Windows by simply double clicking on its icon, like any other file. Installing Visual Studio 2022 Community with included tools for C++, and then running Developer Command Prompt allowed me to compile C files by using command: cl filename.c which returns exe file, f ilename.exe. And ideally, where I could even turn these files into classical. So I'm asking you for help to set up my own coding environment for C in Windows, where I could compile the files (ideally with make too, and not just clang), where I could include external libraries, where I could work with files on my own HDD, etc. I already tried to google how to set-up a compiler in Windows, but I've bumped into many hoops and obstacles and it's not (at least for me) as straightforward as it might seem. The main reason is that I want to start practicing working with files on my own hard disk, and also using libraries outside of what these tools offer, such as conio.h. However, now arrives the time that I need my own compiler on local machine. I've made some stuff already, entirely using these tools. This allowed me to focus on coding and not worry about compiling. That being said, I only used their online codespaces so far, - and for my own personal practice, I used online complilers such as I'm following CS50 course and first half of the course is almost entirely in C. I've been learning C and playing around with it for a couple of months already.
