+
+  For Windows, please add the CUDA_PATH to the "System variables" section of "Environment Variables" (suppose cuda is installed in "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\vX.X").
+  - Variable name: "CUDA_PATH"
+  - Variable value: "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\vX.X"
+
+  Then append the following paths to the "Path" variable.
