Downloading the libraries
- If you don’t have git installed on your computer, install it from here.
Git is a free and open-source software used to help organise the way that people create source code for programs and tool, and how they collaborate to do it.
Here, git will help you download the code used to make the vcpkg software function, which will download all of the librairies that FMT needs for us.
- Use vcpkg that comes with Visual Studio or use
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.gitin the command prompt to download vcpkg.
If you have closed the command prompt, or if you don’t remember how to open it, see the previous page.
- Use
cd ./vcpkgin the command prompt to navigate into the vcpkg folder.
Once vcpkg is done, go to the next page.
