Rather not have to build everything - any suggestions?

I had the same issues and the only workaround is using Ubuntu with WSL on the Windows 10. Then you just follow the commands

git clone https://github.com/juj/emsdk

cd emsdk

emsdk install sdk-incoming-64bit binaryen-master-64bit

emsdk activate sdk-incoming-64bit binaryen-master-64bit

source ./emsdk_env.sh

echo ${EMSCRIPTEN}

I'm not sure I would classify installing an entirely new operating system under my operating system just to install something a "workaround"...

[Kavita Krishnaswamy]

I know but it's just like keeping a window of another application open while we multitask… While packages were being installed on Ubuntu,I was still able to work on Windows simultaneously. I wish there was an easier way. If you find out, let me know please.

Here are the instructions

You can give it a try and let me know.
