## Introduction and Usage Scenarios of MSYS2
6+
MSYS2 is a software distribution for Windows that provides an environment similar to Unix. It is based on the modern Cygwin and MinGW-w64 projects, aiming to offer developers a powerful platform for building and development. MSYS2 uses the pacman package manager, (which is the same as Arch Linux), making it convenient to install, update, and manage software packages. It provides an environment akin to Unix systems, making cross-platform development on Windows easier. MSYS2 includes a vast array of pre-compiled packages, including compilers, libraries, tools, and so on.
7+
## Inclusive Architecture
8+
- MinGW: i686, x86_64, ucrt64, clang64
9+
- MSYS: i686, x86_64
10+
## Download and Installation of MSYS2
11+
12+
Please visit the distrib/ directory under the mirror directory:
13+
14+
### x86_64
15+
16+
<SiteLink href="/msys2/distrib/x86_64/">
17+
<button className="button button--primary">Check the installation packages of the x86_64 version</button>
18+
</SiteLink>
19+
20+
21+
### i686
22+
23+
<SiteLink href="/msys2/distrib/i686/">
24+
<button className="button button--primary">Check the installation packages of the i686 version
25+
</button>
26+
</SiteLink>
27+
28+
### Usage Details
29+
30+
Find the file named `msys2-<architecture>-<date>.exe`(such as `msys2-x86_64-20141113.exe`), and then download and install it.
31+
32+
## The configuration of pacman within MSYS2
33+
34+
:::caution
35+
**To avoid issues after replacing the software source configuration file, please first back up the system's default software source configuration file, and then proceed with the following steps.**
36+

37+
38+
## Manual Source Replacement
39+
40+
1.**Edit the`/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw32` file**: Add the following content at the beginning of the file:
41+
42+
```bash varcode
43+
Server = ${_http}://${_domain}/msys2/mingw/i686
44+
```
45+
2.**Edit the `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mingw64` file**: Add the following content at the beginning of the file:
46+
47+
```bash varcode
48+
Server = ${_http}://${_domain}/msys2/mingw/x86_64
49+
```
50+
3.**Edit the `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.msys` file**: Add the following content at the beginning of the file:
51+
52+
```bash varcode
53+
Server = ${_http}://${_domain}/msys2/msys/$arch
54+
```
55+
4.**Edit the `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.ucrt64` file**: Add the following content at the beginning of the file:
56+
57+
```bash varcode
58+
Server = ${_http}://${_domain}/msys2/mingw/ucrt64
59+
```
60+
5.**Refresh the software package database**:
61+
62+
```shell varcode
63+
Is [ ] (root) a root user
64+
---
65+
const SUDO = !root ? 'sudo ' : '';
66+
---
67+
${SUDO}pacman -Sy
68+
```
69+
70+
Through these steps, you can change the mirror source of MSYS2 to the mirror station of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, thus speeding up the download and update of software packages.
71+
72+
## One-click source replacement
73+
74+
:::caution
75+
This method is only applicable to changing from the official source to the source of this site. If you have already changed the source, please do not use the following commands.
