Steps for installing codeblocks in Windows 10

1:   Go to    https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer

2:   When there, click on the green button saying DOWNLOAD at the upper left of the page.
     This will put a file named mingw-get-setup.exe in your Downloads folder.

3.   From your Downloads folder, double click on the mingw-get-setup.exe file,
     and proceed through the installation steps. These small steps will take you to
     a MinGW Installation Manager window.

4.   In the Installation Manager, on the right hand side, there will be several lines,
     each begins with mingw. Select the box for the line titled mingw32-gcc-g++

     If you are prompted with a small menu, click on Mark For Install.

5.   In the upper left corner of the page, click on Installation, and then click 
     Apply Changes. That should finish the MinGW installation step.


6.   Now, we will edit your Environment Variables. In the windows search field,
     type Environment Variables and hit ENTER. This will open a new window, titled,
     System Properties. At the bottom of this page, click the button titled
     Environment Variables. A new page will open, look at the lower half, titled,
     System variables. In that table, you will see Path (make sure you are looking at 
     the LOWER HALF PAGE and not the upper half page). Click on Path, it will highlight,
     then you click Edit (which is below). When you click Edit, a page titled
     Edit environment variable will open up.

7.   The Edit page will have lines such as C:\Windows\system32, and so on.
     Position the mouse at the bottom of those lines, and add a new line exactly as 
     shown here:
     C:\MinGW\bin

8.   Then click OK on each of the windows that were opened (maybe 2 or 3 OK's).

9.   In the windows search field, type cmd

     This will open a new Command Prompt window (typically this is a black window).

10.  In the Command Prompt window, type gcc

     If the response is "fatal error: no input files", this is very good news, go to Step 11.
     If the response is "not recognized as an internal or external command", we
     need to repeat steps 1 through 10 carefully, and if still does not work,
     contact nlobo@ucf.edu (include your phone number), for help.     

  
11.  Go to www.codeblocks.org, on the left panel (in blue), click Downloads.
     Then, scroll lower, and click on Download The Binary Release.

12.  Scroll down, past the header titled Binary releases, and then also past the header
     titled Microsoft Windows. There, different codeblocks installations are listed.
     Staying on the line that says codeblocks-20.03-setup.exe, at the right of the line,
     click on Sourceforge.net. That should put this codeblocks file in  your Downloads 
     folder, which you will then install by double-clicking on the file in the Downloads
     folder.

13.  Finish the installation of codeblocks, and then look for the codeblocks icon in your taskbar
     and double-click on it.

14.  When codeblocks opens for you, select the top-left File, then select New,
     then select Empty File. Then leave this area for a moment and do Step 15.

15.  Open another browser window, and go to our class 
          webpage www.cs.ucf.edu/courses/cop3223/fall2023/section2
     Open up Lectures,  open hello.c, and the use copy paste to copy all the code from the
     website, copy the code into the Empty File codeblocks window.

16.  Then, click the icon at the top in codeblocks that shows a gear and a green triangle
     together. That will start the running, but first it will prompt you to save the code
     with a filename and a type. Keep your filenames simple (such as,  my1 or prog1), ensure
     that the Save-as-type says C/C++ files, (ensure you have chosen a good folder name, or 
     have used Desktop), and then click save.

17.  If there were no problems with the program, you will get the expected output on your screen.

18.  Try running other programs like ltrgrade.c from Chapter 5, this will confirm that
     you are able to enter input from the keyboard and have everything running successfully.
