# Installation Guide
cmakePrerequisites
- LunarG Vulkan SDK 1.0.24 or newer
- CMake 3.10+
- vcpkg
- Conan
- Clang-Format 22.1.1
Setup Steps
git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp.git
Clone the Vulkan-Hpp repository.
cmake -B build -S .
Configure the build directory using CMake.
cmake --build build
Build the project, samples, and tests.
Key Commands
cmake -B build -S .
Configure CMake and generate build files.
cmake --build build
Build the project using the generated configuration.
vcpkg install vulkan-headers
Install vulkan-headers dependency via vcpkg.
As a header-only library, you can directly include the headers or use CMake for integration.
# Use via CDN
