Since Vireo currently only supports Microsoft Windows this tutorial assumes that you use this operating system.

We will be using CMake which means that you can use Microsoft Visual Studio or Jetbrains CLion to edit and compile your code. Note that you need to install the CMake component for Visual Studio.

Since Vireo implements a DirectX 12 backend under Windows you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 (MSCV 19+). Vireo can be compiled with LLVM but only with the Vulkan back-end alone.

For DirectX 12 install the "Game Development with C++" component for Visual Studio.

For Vulkan install the Vulkan SDK

The CMake scripts will automatically install the GLM library used in this tutorial
