The [prerelease version of the Linux subsystem](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-legacy) available in the 1607 and 1703 releases of Windows 10 is obsolete so consider uninstalling it.
Make sure that the `build-essential`, `git`, and `libpng-dev` packages are installed. The `build-essential` package includes the `make`, `gcc-core`, and `g++` packages so they do not have to be obtained separately. MSYS2 does not include `libpng-dev` so it must be built from source.
-If you are *not* using MSYS2, install the **devkitARM** toolchain of [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started) and add its environment variables.
+Install the **devkitARM** toolchain of [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started) and add its environment variables. For Windows versions without the Linux subsystem, the devkitPro [graphical installer](https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases) includes a MSYS2 environment, thus the steps below are not required.
export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
echo "export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO" >> ~/.bashrc
