Go to the Python download page and click on Windows Installer (64-bit). In order to program Raspberry Pi Pico using VS Code, you need to install Python in your computer. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back and wait for installation to complete. It is a significantly large install (around 6.5 GB). ![]() Select “C Build Tools” and on the right, make sure that “Windows 10 SDK” is selected (important).Īfter selecting the necessary options, click on install.

Go to the download page of GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain, scroll down and download the latest version of Windows executable.Īfter downloading, open the downloads folder and double click on the executable to begin the installation process. We will begin our setup process for Programming Raspberry Pi Pico in Windows with downloading and installing the GCC Compiler for ARM Cortex Processors. Programming Raspberry Pi Pico from a Windows System is a little bit different (or at least the initial setup part) as you have to download and install all the necessary tools one-by-one instead of simple commands as we did in a Linux (Raspberry Pi OS) system.īefore installing Visual Studio Code, you have to download the following tools:Īfter installing these tools, we can install the Visual Studio Code, configure it and start Programming Raspberry Pi Pico in Windows System.
