WSQ01 – Setup C++

Time for C++

Click photo for source.

Setup your home computer to run C++. There are separate procedures depending on which operating system you are using.

• For Mac OS, you will need to open a Terminal (in Applications->Utilities) then type the following. It might be necessary to install XCode from the App Store before doing this (or it may trigger that automatically):

  xcode-select --install 
  

• For Windows, you want to use Cygwin, install these packages: gcc-g++ and make.

• If running Ubuntu, see this answer on the askubuntu forums
