Setting up Lynx Browser on Windows 7

Question

Can anyone provide a walk through of getting the Lynx browser up and running on Windows 7. I want to do some accessibility testing with this browser but I can't find any simple steps to getting it working.

This one is currently at version 2.8.3, which as the author states is 10+ years out of date. For the latest versions, see the link in Jonathan Hult's answer, or see the list of maintained [Windows Binaries on the official Lynx website](http://lynx.isc.org/release/). – MrWhite Dec 24 '14 at 17:19
Why isn't Lynx maintained if it's apparently so useful? – SarahofGaia Aug 01 '15 at 00:04
@SarahofGaia It is not useful. It is a text based browser which is of very little use. – CJ7 Feb 02 '17 at 23:11
Lynx is very useful to scrape sites where you need to log in etc. – rockstardev Jul 25 '21 at 06:50
