## Windows
Prerequisites:
- A recent version of Visual Studio 2022 (recommended but not required) with the following additional components:
- C++ CMake tools for Windows
- Windows 10/11 SDK
- git

Instructions for Visual Studio 2022:
1. Run `git clone --recursive https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu`
2. Launch `Cemu/generate_vs_solution.bat`.
- If you installed VS to a custom location or use VS 2019, you may need to manually change the path inside the .bat file.
3. Wait until it's done, then open `Cemu/build/Cemu.sln` in Visual Studio.
4. Then build the solution and once finished you can run and debug it, or build it and check the /bin folder for the final Cemu_release.exe.
2. Open the newly created Cemu directory in Visual Studio using the "Open a local folder" option
3. In the menu select Project -> Configure CMake. Wait until it is done, this may take a long time
4. You can now build, run and debug Cemu
You can also skip steps 3-5 and open the root folder of the cloned repo directly in Visual Studio (as a folder) and use the built-in CMake support but be warned that cmake support in VS can be a bit finicky.
Any other IDE should also work as long as it has CMake and MSVC support. CLion and Visual Studio Code have been confirmed to work.

5. You should now have a Cemu executable file in the /bin folder, which you can run using `./bin/Cemu_release`.
#### Using GCC
While we use and test Cemu using clang, using GCC might work better with your distro (they should be fairly similar performance/issues wise and should only be considered if compilation is the issue).

You can use GCC by doing the following:
- make sure you have g++ installed in your system
- installation for Ubuntu and derivatives: `sudo apt install g++`
