**NOTE:**

At the installation step, you may get the warning message:
42+
43+
> Warning! Failed to add GMT to PATH. Please add the GMT bin path to PATH manually.
44+
45+
Usually it means your system variable **PATH** is already too long and the GMT
46+
installer can't add its path to the variable. As it says, you need to ignore
47+
the warning message, and then manually add the GMT bin path
48+
(e.g., `C:\programs\gmt6`) to **PATH** after finishing the installation.
49+
If you don't know how to manually modify **PATH**, just search Google for
50+
"How to change windows path variable".
