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:
  • 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.
