Jq Command not found in MSYS2

[paltusoff]

After completing the steps

pacman -Syu

pacman -Su git wget make tar unzip zip mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake autoconf automake mingw-w64-x86_64-libtool mingw-w64-x86_64-jq python

Also I tried

# which jq

which: no jq in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/c/WINDOWS/System32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

I search in folders of MSYS2 and find jq.exe stored in folder

c:\msys64\mingw64\bin\

What shall I do or check?

Using the 64-bit Mingw shell?

[paltusoff]

Mingw shell? I installed and use MSYS2 64-bit

UPD Oh no

[stoermelder (Ben)]

You have to use the shortcut “MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit” in your start menu.

Very helpful - I had same issue. Installed on MSYS2 MSYS and did not switch to MinGW 64-bit shell

Had similar issue, but WAS using the MSYS shell. Apparently had to add /c/msys64/mingw64/bin to the path. After that, my empty build test plugin compiled fine.
