Excellent help for beginners. As a suggestion you could also show where you can find the executable produced and how you can run it from anywhere. Even on a computer with nothing installed. Some people have hard time seeing the difference between interpreters like Java or python which both need some runtime environment to run the program in, vs the direct machine code running directly on OS.
