On windows you will need to have the `{architecture}-pc-windows-msvc` toolchain installed as well as [Clang 3.9 or greater](http://releases.llvm.org/download.html).
Alacritty requires winpty on windows to emulate UNIX's PTY API.
The agent is a single binary (`winpty-agent.exe`) which MUST be in the same directory as `alacritty.exe`.
It's included in binary releases and fetched by `build.rs` when compiled from source.

If you build Alacritty on another distribution, we would love some help
