In Visual Studio 2017 in the Solution Explorer tab, when I right-click on a folder and select Build I get this error message

It says I need to install ClangCL build tools but where do I download it from?

During the installation I installed Desktop development with C++ with the default options and llvm.vsix with it.

    Try installing CLang as explained in documentation: https://github.com/Inori/GPCS4/blob/master/Doc/DeveloperGuide.md#build-gpcs4.

    Also use the recommended or current version of Visual Studio.

    Don't really understand this part

    https://github.com/Inori/GPCS4/blob/master/Doc/DeveloperGuide.md#build-gpcs4
    3) Build pthreads4w manually:
    Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019,
    cd to path: GPCS4\3rdParty\pthreads4w
    type nmake VC-static-debug then nmake VC-static

    In Native Tools Command Prompt, how do I type cd to path?
