A better alternative to MinGW is bash for powershell. You can install bash for Windows 10 using the steps given here

After you've installed bash, all you've got to do is run the bash command on your terminal.

PS F:\cpp> bash
user@HP:/mnt/f/cpp$ g++ program.cpp -o program
user@HP:/mnt/f/cpp$ ./program

This is what I used on MAC.

Use your preferred compiler.

Compile with gcc.

gcc -lstdc++ filename.cpp -o outputName

Or Compile with clang.

clang++ filename.cpp -o outputName

./outputFile
