+Clone the respository.  To place it in C:\PrusaSlicer, run:

+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 and run the following:

+cd c:\PrusaSlicer\deps
+mkdir build
+cd build

+
+Double-click c:\PrusaSlicer\build\PrusaSlicer.sln to open in Visual Studio 2019.
+OR
+Open Visual Studio for C++ development (VS asks this the first time you start it).
+
+Select PrusaSlicer_app_gui as your startup project (right-click->Set as Startup Project).
+
+Run Build->Rebuild Solution once to populate all required dependency modules.  This is NOT done automatically when you build/run.  If you run both Debug and Release variants, you will need to do this once for each.
+
+Debug->Start Debugging or press F5
+
+PrusaSlicer should start. You're up and running!
