TODO: Install paragraph from @supermerill (?), also credit #### Installing using the `INSTALL` project
Slic3r PE can be run from the Visual Studio or from Visual Studio's build directory (`src\Release` or `src\Debug`),
but for longer-term usage you migth want to install somewhere using the `INSTALL` project.
By default, this installs into `C:\Program Files\Slic3r`.
To customize the install path, use the `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path of your choice>` when invoking `cmake`.
