Compile C on Windows, Mac and Linux
Run through installing a C compiler on Windows, Mac and Linux (Ubuntu & Debian). On each system, we also write a small C program to test that it worked.
On Windows, we install and configure MinGW. On Mac, we install Xcode Command Line Tools (Full Xcode app not required). On Linux, we install gcc.
MinGW Install for Windows:

You can also use a C Playground online to write small, single file C programs without a compiler! This is great if you're just getting started, and if you want to try C on a device which cannot install a C compiler. Here's a link to one, but you can find many online by googling C Playground.
