Note about install commands:
- for Windows, we use choco.
- for MacOS, we use brew.
- In case of an error in cmake, make sure that the dependencies are on the PATH.
This is a really long list of dependencies, and it's easy to mess up. That's why:
We have setup-cpp that is a cross-platform tool to install all the compilers and dependencies on the system.
Please check the setup-cpp documentation for more information.
For example, on Windows, you can run the following to install llvm, cmake, ninja, ccache, and cppcheck.
# windows example (open shell as admin)
curl -LJO "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.5.7/setup_cpp_windows.exe"
./setup_cpp_windows --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --cppcheck true
RefreshEnv.cmd # reload the environment
- A C++ compiler that supports C++17. See cppreference.com to see which features are supported by each compiler. The following compilers should work:
-
Install command
-
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install build-essential
-
Windows:
choco install mingw -y
-
MacOS:
brew install gcc
-

Debian/Ubuntu:
bash -c "$(wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh)"
-
Windows:
Visual Studio 2019 ships with LLVM (see the Visual Studio section). However, to install LLVM separately:
choco install llvm -y
llvm-utils for using external LLVM with Visual Studio generator:
git clone https://github.com/zufuliu/llvm-utils.git cd llvm-utils/VS2017 .\install.bat
-
MacOS:
brew install llvm
-
-
Install command + Environment setup
On Windows, you need to install Visual Studio 2019 because of the SDK and libraries that ship with it.
Visual Studio IDE - 2019 Community (installs Clang too):
choco install -y visualstudio2019community --package-parameters "add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --includeRecommended --includeOptional --passive --locale en-US"
Put MSVC compiler, Clang compiler, and vcvarsall.bat on the path:
choco install vswhere -y refreshenv # change to x86 for 32bit $clpath = vswhere -products * -latest -prerelease -find **/Hostx64/x64/* $clangpath = vswhere -products * -latest -prerelease -find **/Llvm/bin/* $vcvarsallpath = vswhere -products * -latest -prerelease -find **/Auxiliary/Build/* $path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "User") [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $path + ";$clpath" + ";$clangpath" + ";$vcvarsallpath", "User") refreshenv
