Atom Editor - Install Minimap on Windows

I am trying to install the minimap plugin (simulates an elevated minimap) for Atom Editor on Windows, but when I do this, I get an error message:

"Packages that depend on modules containing C / C ++ code will not be installed. Run apm install --check ..."

The documentation for the minimap says:

   apm install minimap

When I try to run apm, it says that the command was not found ...

On the net, I found other posts saying that you can go to the Atom toolbar and "Atom> Install Shell Commands", but on Windows there is no Atom toolbar, this is the Mac version, as far as I know. Has anyone else been successful with this in windows?

I guess this is something simple, and I just missed it. I think what I need to do is to make the apm command line tools work in order to be able to run on my terminal so that I can run the "atom setup thumbnail".

Thanks in advance!

Figured it out. Hope this helps some other poor lost souls.

To install the mini-package, you need Python 2.78

By default, the APM tool should be installed with the atom, but if you don't have Python, they will fail.

Then you need to install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

You will also need Git defined in your Windows path variable.
