# Installing from VCPKG (Windows)

We do not support VCPKG for any platform that isn't Windows. This does not mean VCPKG doesn't work, it just means we do not test it. If you are using other platforms then please look towards our other pages. We also advise that you use the pre-made Visual Studio template on Windows, as VCPKG takes longer to receive updates.

To install D++ on a system with VCPKG:

- Ensure VCPKG is correctly installed, and run `vcpkg integrate install` to integrate it with your preferred IDE. This has been reported to work with Visual Studio, VSCode, and JetBrains CLion.

- From a command line, type `vcpkg install dpp:x64-windows`

- VCPKG will install the library, and dependencies, for you! Once completed, you will receive a message, indicating that dpp successfully installed!

- Use `vcpkg list dpp` to check that the package is installed, as so:

    c:\vcpkg>vcpkglistdpp
    dpp:x64-windows10.0.29D++ExtremelyLightweightC++DiscordLibrary.

- You may now use the library within a `CMake` based project by adding the following instructions to your `CMakeLists.txt`:

    find_package(dppCONFIGREQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}PRIVATEdpp::dpp)
