Please, be fair.  Assuming of course that you can find out what "git" is, your 50 bps X25 link is going to take some time to download 35MB as broadband hasn't yet reached the UK.  Then you've got to get Visual Studio Community Edition and follow the horrendously complicated instructions that I gave previously.  It is impossible to do this unless you have at least five PhDs, all of which must be in completely different subjects.  Come on you lot, own up, who didn't realise I was that smart?

Kindest regards.
