sudo make install
cd ../
wget https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python-3.12.10-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo mkdir /opt/win-python
sudo tar --zstd -xf mingw-w64-x86_64-python-3.12.10-1-any.pkg.tar.zst -C /opt/win-python
```

### Building ###

You've already cloned the latest master revision of hashcat repository above, so switch to the folder and type "make win" to start compiling hashcat
```
cd hashcat/
make win
```

The process may take a while, please be patient.
