# Installation Guide

1. Get the code
git clone https://github.com/kidanger/vpv

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd vpv

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended
Prerequisites
  • APT (Debian/Ubuntu 계열) Built into Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux distributions.
  • Homebrew A package manager for macOS/Linux.
sudo apt install g++ cmake libsdl2-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libjpeg-dev

Installs directly from the APT package repository (Debian/Ubuntu-based).

brew install cmake sdl2 libpng libtiff libjpeg

Installs the pre-built package via Homebrew β€” no source build required.

βœ… After installing, open a new terminal and run the program's version command (e.g. --version) to confirm it worked.

3. CMake

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
  • C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.
sudo apt install g++ cmake libsdl2-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libjpeg-dev

Installs directly from the APT package repository (Debian/Ubuntu-based).

brew install cmake sdl2 libpng libtiff libjpeg

Installs the pre-built package via Homebrew β€” no source build required.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

βœ… Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

Pulled directly from this repo's README.

4. Rust

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.
⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.
cd src/fuzzy-finder

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

cargo run

Builds and then immediately runs the program.

βœ… If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.

5. Make

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).
make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

βœ… If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
