I have yet to see a linux distribution or Mac distribution where installing anything for development or sysadmin doesn't start with installing the C toolchain in something similar to `sudo apt-get build-essential` or `xcode-select --install`. The only platform where it's annoying is Windows but well all languages have issues on Windows.
