.The latest version of the compressed package
2. Create a custom directory (the directory here can be set by itself, as long as the configured environment variables are unified with this): D:\g
3. Configure environment variables
Win11 location:System > System Information > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables (N)... > System Variables (S)
Other Windows versions can be found on Baidu
