+===== Windows (with MinGW) =====
+  - Download and install the Qt online installer: https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss (note that you will need to create an account and log in)
+    - Select Qt 6.6.3 (Actiona 3 is not compatible with newer versions at the moment)
+    - Check Qt 5 Compatibility Module
+    - In "Additional libraries":
+      - Check Qt Multimedia
+      - Check Qt Speech
+  - Install CMake: https://cmake.org/download/
+  - Install Git: https://gitforwindows.org/
+  - Download the source code for OpenCV 4.x: https://opencv.org/releases/ and extract the archive
+  - Open a Command Prompt: (update the path to Qt if you installed it somewhere else)
+<code bash>
+set PATH=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw1120_64\bin;%PATH%

+  - Open Git Bash: (and cd to the directory where you want to save the source code for Actiona)
+    - <code bash>git clone --recursive https://github.com/Jmgr/actiona.git</code>
+  - Open QtCreator:
+    - in Edit -> Preferences, check that your kits are not greyed out: if so, check that the CMake tool is set
+    - File -> Open file or project, select the CMakeLists.txt file in the Actiona source code directory
+    - Set the build type to Release (Debug builds are not currently working when using MinGW on Windows)
+    - In Projects -> CMake -> Initial Configuration, click Add on the right, then Directory.
+    - Add "OpenCV_DIR" as the key, and "<OpenCV directory>\build" as the value
+    - Click "Re-configure with Initial Parameters"
+    - In Build steps -> Details, in Tool aguments, add -j (allows compiling with more than one core)
+    - Build
+  - You should be able to run Actiona from within QtCreator now
