+Getting the tools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To get the latest tools from GitHub and set them as :term:`active <Active Tool/SDK>` run the following :ref:`emsdk <emsdk>` commands.

-  .. tip:: If you want to avoid executing `source ./emsdk_env.sh` every time you open a new terminal, you can follow the instructions given by the `emsdk activate` command above to add this command to your startup scripts.
 
-  .. note:: On Windows, run ``emsdk.bat`` instead of ``./emsdk``, and ``emsdk_env.bat`` instead of ``source ./emsdk_env.sh``.
+.. tip:: For Windows machines here is a useful routine to follow:
+
+  ::
+
+   # To open the emscripten command line in your IDE terminal run the following
+
+   # Navigate to newly created emsdk folder
+   cd emsdk
+   
+   # Run the emcmdprompt.bat file
+   emcmdprompt.bat
+   
+   # To use the compilation commands remember to navigate one folder up
+   cd..

   .. note:: On Windows, if you use the ``activate`` command, the step of ``emsdk_env.bat`` is optional. If you want to know more, see :ref:`activate SDK version <emsdk-set-active-tools>`.
