Download the latest version of curl

https://curl.se/windows/

next extract it into your C: drive like so

C:\curl-8.0.1_7-win64-mingw

next locate the bin folder

C:\curl-8.0.1_7-win64-mingw\bin

So copy the location.

Next Search for view advanced system settings a window should open upon selecting it.

In the window find Environment Variables... once there you should see User variables for ... and System Variables

In both you want to find Path so select once and click on Edit... a new window should show up so click on New and paste in the path to the curl bin folder C:\curl-8.0.1_7-win64-mingw\bin

Do the same for both User variables for ... and System Variables.

Next open Powershell and type in the following

Note: make sure that your python install is also in the Path for both User variables for ... and System Variables.

curl.exe https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BeanGreen247/tinGUI/main/tinGUI/tinGUI.py | python.exe

This should open the text editor without having to download it.
