All platforms

Install the Vulkan SDK.

Microsoft Window

Vireo can be compiled with MSVC 19+ ou LLVM/MingW 21+.

Since Vireo implements a DirectX 12 backend under Windows you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 (MSCV 19+) event if you use LLVM : install the "Game Development with C++" component for Visual Studio.

The project uses CMake which means that you that you need to install the CMake component if you use Visual Studio. You can use Jetbrains CLion or Visual Studio Code but be warned that the VSCode support for C++ modules is far from perfect.

Linux

Install the Vulkan SDK, llvm, cmake, ninja and vulkan-validation-layers packages. For Vulkan you must execute the setup-env.sh of the Vulkan SDK in for profile script (.bash_profile, .zprofile, ...)
