# Noob guide (step by step)
Install Visual Studio Community 2019 from
visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/
Select all workload options for C++
Install git for Windows from
gitforwindows.org
download and run the exe accepting all defaults
download PrusaSlicer-master.zip from github
I downloaded this to c:\PrusaSlicer and unzipped to c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master\ so this will be my prefix for all my steps. Substitute your prefix.
Go to the Windows Start Menu and Click on "Visual Studio 2019" folder, then select the ->"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" to open a command window
cd c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master\deps
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DDESTDIR="c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master"
msbuild /m ALL_BUILD.vcxproj // This took 13.5 minutes on my machine: core I7-7700K @ 4.2Ghz with 32GB main memory and 20min on a average laptop
cd c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master\
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master\usr\local"
open Visual Studio for c++ development (VS asks this the first time you start it)
Open->Project/Solution or File->Open->Project/Solution (depending on which dialog comes up first)
click on c:\PrusaSlicer\PrusaSlicer-master\build\PrusaSlicer.sln
Debug->Start Debugging or Debug->Start Without debugging
PrusaSlicer should start. You're up and running!
