    Well you need to tell us which OS you're using to begin with.

    In addition, for some things, you'll need to be able to run the code at admin/super user level.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    thanks for the answer.
    Well, as i try to go the "universal way" (eg portability et so on) OS should be Windows / Linux-Unix et CPU Intel as much as AMD. But for a first run let say Intel/Windows
