+# Installation/Configuration
+This is the third part of the entire project and it's about the client binary, the executable of the game.
+
+Below you will find a comprehensive guide on how to configure all the necessary components from scratch.
+
+This guide is made using a **Windows** environment as the main environment and **cannot work in non-Windows operating systems!**
+
+This guide also uses the latest versions for all software demonstrated as of its creation date at February 4, 2026.
+
+© All copyrights reserved to the owners/developers of any third party software demonstrated in this guide other than this project/group of projects.
+
+
+
+### 📋 Order of projects configuration
+If one or more of the previous items is not yet configured please come back to this section after you complete their configuration steps.

+
+
+### 🧱 Software Prerequisites
+
+
+
+ Please make sure that you have installed the following software in your machine before continuing:
+
+
+
+
+ >
+ >
+ > -  **Visual Studio**: The software used to edit and compile the source code. [Download](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/)
+ >
+ > -  **Visual Studio Code (VS Code)**: A lighter alternative to Visual Studio, harder to build the project in this software but it is recommended for code editing. [Download](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download)
+ > -  **Git**: Used to clone the repositories in your Windows machine. [Download](https://git-scm.com/install/windows)
+ > -  **CMake**: Required for setting up and configuring the build of the source code. [Download](https://git-scm.com/install/windows)
+ > -  **Notepad++ (optional but recommended)**: Helps with quick, last minute edits. [Download](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/)
+ >
+ >

+
+
+
+
+
+### 👁️ Required Visual Studio packages
+
+Make sure you have installed these packages with Visual Studio Installer in order to compile C++ codebases:

+### ⬇️ Obtaining the Client Source
+
+To build the source for the first time, you first need to clone it. In your command prompt, `cd` into your desired location or create a new folder wherever you want and download the project using `Git`.
+
+
+
+ Here's how
+
+
+
+
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ > Open up your terminal inside or `cd` into your desired folder and type this command:
+ >
+ > ```
+ > git clone https://github.com/d1str4ught/m2dev-client-src.git
+ > ```
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ > ### ✅ You have successfully obtained the Client Source project!
+ >

+
+
+
+
+### 🛠️ Building the Source Code
+
+Building the project is extremely simple, if all Visual Studio components are being installed correctly.
+
+
+
+ Instructions
+
+
+
+
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ > Open up your terminal inside, or `cd` in your project's root working directory and initialize the build with this command:
+ >
+ > ```
+ > cmake -S . -B build
+ > ```
+ >
+ > A new `build` folder has been created in your project's root directory. This folder contains all the build files and configurations, along with the `sln` file to open the project in Visual Studio.
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > Double click on that file to launch Visual Studio and load the project.
+ >
+ > In the Solution Explorer, select all the projects minus the container folders, right click on one of the selected items, and click **Properties**
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > Next, make sure that the following settings are adjusted like this:
+ >
+ > 1. **Windows SDK Version** should be the latest of Windows 10. It is not recommended to select any Windows 11 versions yet if avalable.
+ > 2. **Platform Toolset** is the most important part for your build to succeed! Select the highest number you see. **v145** is for Visual Studio 2026. If you are running Visual Studio 2022 you won't have that, you will have **v143**, select that one, same goes for older Visual Studio versions.
+ > 3. **C++ Language Standard** should be C++20 as it is the new standard defined in the CMakeList.txt files as well. Might as well set it like that for all dependencies.
+ > 4. **C Language Standard** should be C17 as it is the new standard defined in the CMakeList.txt files as well. Might as well set it like that for all dependencies.
+ >
+ > Once done, click Apply and then OK to close this dialog.
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > After that, in the toolbar at the top of the window, select your desired output configuration:
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > Finally, click on the **Build** option at the top and select **Build Solution**, or simply press **CTRL+SHIFT+B** in your keyboard with all the projects selected.
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > **Note**: if this is **NOT** your first build after executing the `cmake -S . -B build` command for this workspace, it is recommended to click **Clean Solution** before **Build Solution**.
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ > Where to find your compiled binaries:
+ >
+ > Inside the **build** folder in your cloned repository, you should have a **bin** folder and inside that, you should have a **Debug**, **Release**, **RelWithDebInfo** or **MinSizeRel** folder, depending on your build configuration selection.
+ >
+ > In that folder you should be seeing all your binaries:
+ >
+ > 
+ >
+ > If you did **NOT** install the **Client** project yet, you are done here.
+ >
+ > If you **HAVE** the **Client** project installed, paste these 2 `.exe` files in these locations inside the Server project:
+ >
+ > - **Metin2_.exe**: inside root folder of the Client project
+ > - **PackMaker.exe**: inside `assets\PackMaker.exe`
+ >
+ >
+ >
+ > ### ✅ You have successfully built the Client Source!
