Offline Setup Guide for C Language and Python
This guide will help you install everything needed to code in C and Python on your desktop PC.
You only need internet once for installation. After that, everything works offline.
-----------------------------------------
1. Install Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
-----------------------------------------
• Download VS Code from the official site.
• Install normally.
• After installation, VS Code works offline.
-----------------------------------------
2. Setup for C Language
-----------------------------------------
Step 1 — Install MinGW (GCC Compiler)
• Search "MinGW download" and install it once.
• During installation, select "gcc" components.
• Add MinGW bin folder to system PATH.
Step 2 — Install Extensions in VS Code
• C/C++ (Microsoft)
• Code Runner (optional)
Step 3 — Test C Code
Create a file: test.c
Write:
#include
int main() {
printf("Hello C");
return 0;
Run using GCC:
gcc test.c -o [Link]
./[Link]
-----------------------------------------
3. Setup for Python
-----------------------------------------
Step 1 — Install Python
• Download Python from [Link]
• Check "Add to PATH" during install
Step 2 — Install VS Code Extensions
• Python (Microsoft)
• Pylance
Step 3 — Test Python Code
Create a file: [Link]
Write:
print("Hello Python")
Run:
python [Link]
-----------------------------------------
4. Offline Workflow
-----------------------------------------
Once everything is installed:
• You can compile C programs offline
• You can run Python scripts offline
• VS Code works fully offline
This setup is permanent and requires no internet after installation.
