### Dependencies
On Windows Slic3r is built against statically built libraries.
We provide a prebuilt package of all the needed dependencies.
The package comes in a several variants:
- [64 bit, Release mode only](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-64.7z) (41 MB, 546 MB unpacked)
- [64 bit, Release and Debug mode](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-64-dev.7z) (88 MB, 1200 MB unpacked)
- [32 bit, Release mode only](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-32.7z) (38 MB, 391 MB unpacked)
- [32 bit, Release and Debug mode](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-32-dev.7z) (24 MB, 487 MB unpacked)
- [64 bit, Release mode only](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-64.7z) (41 MB, 578 MB unpacked)

#### 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`.
### Building from the command line

To build with Ninja or nmake, replace the `-G` option in the CMake call with `-G Ninja` or `-G "NMake Makefiles"` , respectively.
Then use either `ninja` or `nmake` to start the build.
To install, use `msbuild /P:Configuration=Release INSTALL.vcxproj` , `ninja install` , or `nmake install` .
### Building the dependencies package yourself
The dependencies package is built using CMake scripts inside the `deps` subdirectory of Slic3r PE sources.
(This is intentionally not interconnected with the CMake scripts in the rest of the sources.)
Open the preferred Visual Studio command line and `cd` into the directory with Slic3r sources.
Open the preferred Visual Studio command line (64 or 32 bit variant) and `cd` into the directory with Slic3r sources.
Then `cd` into the `deps` directory and use these commands to build:
