+To compile homebrew for the Wii U, you need the [devkitPro Toolchain](https://devkitpro.org/), the offical "getting started" can be found [here](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started).
+
+## Windows
+On Windows you can use the [graphical installer](https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases) to install devkitpro.
+
+After installing you can [open MSYS](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Windows) (Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS) and check if the needed packages are installed and on the newest version.
+```
+yes | pacman -Syu devkitPPC --needed
+yes | pacman -Syu devkitARM --needed
+yes | pacman -Syu general-tools --needed
+```
+
+Make sure the following environment variables are set:
+```
+DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
+DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM
+DEVKITPPC=/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC
+```
+
+## Unix
+The offical installation guide can be found here: https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Unix-like_platforms

+Basically you need to grab the [newest devkitpro pacman version](https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/) and install the `devkitPPC`, `devkitARM ` and `general-tools` package.
+
+Example commands for installing:
+```Bash
