### Step 3. Create VCPKG environment variable
In the next step you will be using CMake to build hifi, but first it is recommended that you create an environment variable linked to a directory somewhere on your machine you have control over. The directory will hold all temporary files and, in the event of a failed build, will ensure that any dependencies that generated prior to the failure will not need to be generated again.
To create this variable:
* Naviagte to 'Edit the System Environment Variables' Through the start menu.
* Click on 'Environment Variables'
* Select 'New'
* Set "Variable name" to HIFI_VCPKG_BASE
* Set "Variable value" to the same directory you created your build directory in.
* Set "Variable value" to any directory that you have control over.
