Download prerequisites

• Git

Clone the git repo

git clone https://github.com/swift-project/pilotclient.git

Build

It might be a good idea to exclude the build directory from your virus scanner, as otherwise new executable will not work properly.

Open the pilotclient folder in Visual Studio as described here to load the project. This automatically triggers CMake and creates all build files according to your toolchain.

That's it! You now have a working Visual Studio environment to build and execute the project.

For more information about the Visual Studio CMake integration and how to launch and debug targets, see this page.
