Assuming you install via MPLAB XC8 v2.05 (which includes the v9.83 engine), follow this guide:
Prerequisites:
Steps:
Integration with MPLAB 8.92 (Legacy IDE): If you still use the classic MPLAB 8.x:
The installer should automatically add the compiler to your PATH. To verify, open Command Prompt and type: Hi-tech C Compiler For Pic10 12 16 Mcus V9.83 Download
