## Prerequisites

DarkRadiant is built on Windows using *Microsoft Visual C++ 2015*.
DarkRadiant is built on Windows using *Microsoft Visual C++ 2017*.
The free Community Edition can be obtained here:

*VC++ 2015:* https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads (Choose Visual Studio Community)
*VC++ 2017:* https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ (Choose Visual Studio Community)

Since DarkRadiant uses a couple of open-source libraries that are not available on
Windows by default, you will also need to download and install the
dependencies. 7-Zip packages of the dependencies are available at the following
URL(s). [Get 7-zip here](http://www.7-zip.org/)

*32-bit only builds:*
https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.1.0/w32deps.7z

*64-bit builds:*
https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.1.0/w32deps.7z
https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.1.0/w64deps.7z

Note that 64-bit builds need the 32-bit dependencies in addition to their own
64-bit dependencies.
https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.3.0/windeps.7z

The dependencies packages need to be extracted into the main DarkRadiant
source directory, i.e. alongside the **include/** and **radiant/** directories.
Just drop the windeps.7z in the DarkRadiant folder and use 7-zip's "Extract to here"

The main Visual C++ solution file is:

Visual Studio 2015: **tools/msvc2015/DarkRadiant.sln**
Visual Studio 2017: **tools/msvc/DarkRadiant.sln**
