If you want to compile and run a standard C program with Visual Studio command tools,
you can follow this tutorial:

#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
printf("Hello world!");
}
2. Run "All Programs > Visual Studio 2017 > Visual Studio Tools > Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017". You see the Visual Studio Command Prompt window.
