### vcpkg

Configure vcpkg with the [VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSION](/vcpkg/users/triplets#vcpkg_platform_toolset_version) triplet. For example:

```
set(VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSION "14.50")
```

or

```
set(VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSION "14.51")
```

### Visual Studio Command Prompt

Some build systems need the command prompt to have the `PATH`, `LIB`, `INCLUDE`, and related environment variables set before you run them.
