NOTE: Currently we only support compiling with Clang that comes from Visual Studio.

##### Option 2: Automated install with Boxstarter
##### Option 2: Automated install with WinGet

[WinGet configuration files](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/main/.configurations)
can be used to install all the required prerequisites for Node.js development
easily. These files will install the following WinGet packages:

* Git for Windows with the `git` and Unix tools added to the `PATH`
* `Python 3.12`
* `Visual Studio 2022` (Community, Enterprise or Professional)
* `Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools` with Visual C++ workload, Clang and ClangToolset
* `NetWide Assembler`

To install Node.js prerequisites from Powershell Terminal:

```powershell
winget configure .\configuration.dsc.yaml
```

Alternatively, you can use [Dev Home](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-home/)
to install the prerequisites:

* Switch to `Machine Configuration` tab
* Click on `Configuration File`
* Choose the corresponding WinGet configuration file
* Click on `Set up as admin`

##### Option 3: Automated install with Boxstarter

A [Boxstarter](https://boxstarter.org/) script can be used for easy setup of
Windows systems with all the required prerequisites for Node.js development.
