For this guide, you will need the Windows Power shell. I've not had the chance to test this on Windows 7, but perhaps these instructions might work there.

  1. Open the Windows Powershell
  2. Enable unrestricted execution policies on your Powershell

set-executionpolicy unrestricted -s cu

  1. Install scoop[1]

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

  1. Let's install basic command line tools to make life bearable in windows (without installing cygwin) scoop install gow

  2. scoop install python27 openssl gcc cmake sqlite

  4. Extract the zip file, go to the builds/msvc/vs2013 folder and build with Visual Studio 2013. (it's free)

[1] scoop is an open source a command line package manager, similar to brew on mac or apt tools in Ubuntu/Debian.
