? What do you mean? Might try the Linux build through wsl. It installs pacman from a tar file, then you can download and install what you need through that. Remember to add ev through .bashrc.

this will get you setup with wsl version 2, and you'll have to use the linux instructions installing pacman/etc. when you get it setup. btw, using echo will not permanently put environmental variables in the .bashrc, only for that session. to put them in there permanently, you can either use sudo nano or do it by hand by opening up the .bashrc. I use visual studio with all code stuff, but it should open in a text editor, since it's not compiled yet.

if you are using windows then you are best off using the windows installer. If you already have installed then uninstall and start from the beginning using the instructions from the official site.

https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started

as the site indicates - devkitpro is an organization that provides tools and not a software package. to build 3ds software you want to install devkitARM and the tools - 3ds dev option which will include libctru.

fyi - saying I cant get to devkitpro to work is a bit like saying I cant get microsoft to work - when you have a problem with windows

devkitpro.org is not working nor the wiki

if the site was down, it works now. yeah, it might be easier if you stick to windows. it's much easier that way. some stuff can't be compiled in windows cmd prompt though, so you have to msys or wsl. msys might be easier for you.
