Installation

You are welcome to write all of your code in Udacity's web-based Workspaces. If, however, you prefer to work
locally on your machine, you will need to install certain software.

g++, gdb, make

macOS

macOS includes g++ as part of Command Line Tools.

 Launch Terminal, which can be found in the Utilities folder in Applications.


 Type xcode-select --install into the Terminal window and press "Enter"
 If you don't already have Xcode or Command Line Tools installed, a window will pop up. Press the
Install button.
 Verify: Type g++ into Terminal and press enter. If the output is clang: error: no input files, then
the installation was successful.

Linux

These programs are typically available through the default package manager for each Linux distribution. For
example, we can use APT on Ubuntu systems.

 sudo apt update


 sudo apt install build-essential
 sudo apt install gdb

Windows

MinGW provides the necessary software.

 Proceed from Section 3.2 of these linked instructions.

Microsoft Visual Studio (VSCode):

The instructions for this are the same for all machines:

 Go to the Visual Studio Code download webpage


 Select your operating system.
 Click on the downloaded file
 Complete the installation instructions.

VSCode C/C++ Extension

 Open VSCode
 Navigate to VSCode extensions by clicking into the following menus:
o Code > Preferences > Extensions
 In the search bar that says "Search Extensions in Marketplace" type "C/C++"

 Select the C/C++ extension and press the Install button to install this extension.

clang-format

 This is also a VSCode extension, so navigate to Extensions using the same process as the previous
section.
 In the search bar that says "Search Extensions in Marketplace", type: "clang-format"

 Select the Clang-Format extension and press the Install button to install this extension.
