`FREEDESKTOP_MIME_TYPES_PATH` to that path. Once that has been done the gem should install successfully. Please
note that the gem will depend upon the file remaining in that location at run time.

For Windows
===============

This was tested in Ruby installed via Ruby Installer, but should work for other methods too.

1. Download 7-Zip from https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
2. Download the package from https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/shared-mime-info/download
3. Unzip the file in `data.tar\.\usr\share\mime\packages\freedesktop.org.xml` somewhere, for the purpose of this tutorial assuming C:\shared-mime-info
4. In command line, export environment variable: `set FREEDESKTOP_MIME_TYPES_PATH=C:\shared-mime-info\freedesktop.org.xml`
5. Install the gem via `bundle install` or `gem install mimemagic`
