How to install FORM (for high-energy physics) on Windows?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on installing FORM (hep) for symbolic calculations in high-energy physics on Windows. Users confirm that there is no official release for Windows, but suggest building it using the GCC compiler under Cygwin or, more conveniently, running it via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The GitHub repository for FORM can be found at https://github.com/vermaseren/form, which provides necessary resources for installation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with FORM (hep) for symbolic calculations
  • Understanding of the GCC compiler and Cygwin environment
  • Knowledge of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
  • Basic skills in navigating GitHub repositories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
  • Learn how to install and configure Cygwin for Windows
  • Explore the documentation on the FORM GitHub repository
  • Study symbolic computation techniques in high-energy physics
USEFUL FOR

High-energy physicists, software developers working with symbolic computation, and anyone interested in installing FORM for research purposes.

TL;DR
Is anybody aware of how to install FORM(hep) for symbolic calculation? Is that support on windows? Can you share any pdf about installation

I believe its an indication of correcting an error in the previous post. QED instead of we'd.
