 If you obtained a Midipix distribution tarball, extract it into a directory and

 If you built Midipix yourself, the target directory is equivalent to the ${PREFIX}
 configured in build.vars, which defaults to ${HOME}/midipix.
 
-At present, providing an interactive Midipix environment still requires the Cygwin
-terminal emulator Mintty and a shell; this does not include pseudoterminals, which
-are entirely handled by Midipix. Both can be installed via the 64-bit Cygwin setup
-program at <https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe>.

-Once installed, launching a Midipix shell is accomplished by the `midipix.sh' shell
-script provided in the target directory from within a Cygwin shell prompt in Mintty
-and the target directory. This may either simply be done manually each time, or
-automated by a shortcut. As shortcuts cannot be distributed, it can be created by
-either:
-* Opening (executing) the VBScript script in the target directory from within the

-  from the default value of C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe or
-* manually creating a shortcut to Mintty with `Start in:' set to the target directory

-  [ ... ]\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -e sh midipix.sh, or
