Please follow below instructions to be able to compile the project:

Windows

• Optional step: Install 7-zip archiver at your local system's folder as- C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe or otherwise, you will need to manually extract each downloaded package (follow instructions shown by batch scripts mentioned below).
• open script/windows directory and run install_packages.bat file. It installs necessary packages for Visual Studio build.
• open script/demo directory and run demo_windows.bat file. It downloads a demo version of the game which is needed for minimum development.
• open fheroes.vcxproj by Visual Studio and compile the project.

MacOS and Linux
