devkitPro provides Win32-native precompiled versions of devkitARM which can be run directly on Windows.
* If you already use msys2 then you can follow the instructions at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest to add the devkitPro repositories.
* [https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases/latest download the latest version of the graphical installer] from SourceForge and run it, following the instructions as you go.

* You will want to make sure devkitARM is selected during the installation process to develop for the 3DS (and also the DS and GBA) - you can also install devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) and devkitPSP (for PlayStation Portable development) if you wish.
* Ensure at least "3DS Development" is ticked - you can also leave the other options ticked if you wish.

* Next, we need to download, make executable and run the devkitARM updater (don't worry, the updater is also the installer.)
* Follow the instructions to install pacman found at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest
* run sudo (dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev to install the tools and libraries for 3ds development
* logout and login again to get the environment settings needed.
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
* Finally, we need to tell your shell where to find the devkitARM binaries.
