Whenever I try to do step 6 or 7 of the Windows install guide I get the following: Sorry missing unzip,m4,bison,flex,patch command How do I deal with this? Also what exactly should I be putting in mingw64 for the full install?

Just open the Windows command prompt, go in the FreeFEM folder installation using cd, and type a command.

what command? I am here right now [Capture]

I am not sure what commands you are referring to. I have a scipt.edp file dowloaded, how do I get it to run through FreeFem+±mpi.exe from the command prompt?
