You may need to have cl.exe in your PATH.

PATH is an environment variable that tells Windows where to find executable files when you just give it the name. By default it contains locations such as C:\Windows.

You have two options here.

Use the Visual C++ Command Prompt. You can find it in the Start Menu under the Visual Studio folder. This sets up PATH automatically.
Add the folder cl.exe is in to the PATH manually.

The folder you're looking for is generally (visual studio folder)\VC\bin. Instructions can be found in this answer. After this you can use cl.exe from any Command Prompt. Note that you have to restart the Command Prompt after this in order to update the PATH in it.
