Setting up your Development Environment

Setting up your Development Environment

Environment Requirements

You may be able to get this to run on different OSs / environments, but we strongly recommend using the below

• Windows 10
• Visual Studio 2019

Cloning the repository and downloading dependencies

Clone the repo and install the submodules

git clone https://github.com/ION28/BLUESPAWN.git
cd BLUESPAWN
git submodule update --init --recursive

In a administrative command prompt (not PowerShell) window in the BLUESPAWN main folder, run the following to install the project's dependencies. It is recommended to add this folder to Windows Defender's or another AV product's folders exclusion list.

NOTE: This is going to take at least 25 min probably, but once this is done, you'll likely never need to rerun this.

cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe install @../vcpkg_response_file.txt
.\vcpkg.exe integrate install
cd ..

Working on code

Checkout a new branch (off of develop)

git checkout develop
git checkout -b new-branch-name

Open Visual Studio, and then open the solution file, BLUESPAWN.sln
