-If you are using a MINGW version compatible with the latest MSYS2 version (for example the MINGW version used for Git Bash), you can download the Vifm binary package from the [https://packages.msys2.org/package official Package Repository]. After you download the package, you'll need to uncompress the package and move the files to the correct folders. For example, in the case of the MINGW version used for Git Bash, you'll need to move the files to the /usr folder.
