+
+Run MSYS2-shell and update core components:
+
+```
+pacman -Sy
+pacman --needed -S bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
+```
+
+You must exit out from MSYS2-shell, restart MSYS2-shell, then run below
+command to complete rest of other component's update:
+
+```
+pacman -Su
+```
+
+Exit out of MSYS2-shell, restart MSYS2-shell, then you are ready to use MSYS2-shell. Double-check
+whether MSYS is up-to-date:
