If you have already installed the haXe distribution, you
can safely skip setting the environment variable, as a suitable variable will have already been set.

Neko has its own website as it is a powerful tool in its own right. To download the latest build of
the Neko platform, navigate to the download section at www.nekovm.org and locate the Neko download
for the Windows distribution. Once you have downloaded the zip file to your PC, extract the files to a
directory on your hard drive. I tend to use C:\Neko for the same reasons as my choice of haXe directory.
Now you need to set the environment variable, so if you haven ??™ t installed haXe yet, or you don ??™ t plan to
use haXe, then read on; otherwise you can safely skip the next part and start getting your hands dirty.
To set the environment variable, you need to call up the System window from the Control Panel
directory. Once open, click the Advanced tab. At the bottom of this panel, click the Environment
Variables button to display another window, which is divided horizontally into two sections, as detailed
in Figure 2 - 3 .
