b2 install command does not run

Question

I want to install Boost.Build, but if I want to run this command like in the tutorial:

D:\boost_1_74_0> ./b2 install --prefix=C:\BoostBuild

Then I get this error message:

D:/boost_1_74_0/tools/build/src/tools\gcc.jam:164: in gcc.init from module gcc
error: toolset gcc initialization:

I have installed MinGw-w64.

Can anyone help me with this?

I followed this tutorial: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/more/getting_started/windows.html

I forgot to edit "user_config.jam", which is in %HOMEDRIVE% or %HOMEPATH%.
