Usually, installing V is quite simple if you have an environment that already has a
functional `git` installation.
To get started, simply try to execute the following in your terminal/shell:
Note: On Windows, run `make.bat` instead of `make` in CMD, or `./make.bat` in PowerShell.
Note: On Ubuntu/Debian, you may need to run `sudo apt install git build-essential make` first.
To get started, execute the following in your terminal/shell:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vlang/v
cd v
make
# HINT: Using Windows? run make.bat in a cmd shell, or ./make.bat in PowerShell
```

That should be it, and you should find your V executable at `[path to V repo]/v`.
`[path to V repo]` can be anywhere.
(As in the hint above, on Windows `make` means running `make.bat`.)

Now try running `./v run examples/hello_world.v` (or `v run examples/hello_world.v` in cmd shell).
