Installer does not download DevKitARM #45

Closed ATSxp closed 2 years ago

ATSxp commented 2 years ago

Hello, I'm a Windows 7 user, and I had installed DevKitARM on a machine a while ago (but I uninstalled it because I wasn't having fun =/ ) but today I went to install it and it just downloaded these folders: image

I know this problem is becoming common, and I have an idea that it is a server problem. Could you please help me to install it correctly?

Thank you for creating this project, I wish I could help by contributing something, but unfortunately I don't even have money for myself XD

You can open the msys2 shell and type pacman -S <consolename>-dev to get all the packages you need for developing homebrew for <consolename>. For example, pacman -S gba-dev gets you a working installation for GBA development.

It may sound funny, but I found a guy with the same problem as me on the forum, and you were there and said the same thing, I did what you said and that's it, it's in my folder =).

Thank you so much for helping, I believe this should be written somewhere on the "Getting Started" page, as some Windows users (like me), they would never know this if they opened an issue or searched very patiently on the internet.

Thank you anyway ;)

Glad you got it sorted out. Fwiw the same instructions are already on the Getting Started page.
