I just installed MSYS2 on windows 10 following instructions here : https://www.msys2.org/
After installation, a terminal opens, in which I type pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc
This results in an error "Command pacman, Shell Error: not found"
Why is pacman not installed? Why is this a popup window and not a error in the terminal?
I note that my prompt is a simple $ instead of <username>@<computername> UCRT64 ~, I do not know if this is related.
I have git-for-windows installed on the same computer, and wanted to install MSYS2 alongside with it to install minGW and a compilation environment. I emptied my ~ folder but it changed nothing.
