This is a stand-alone guide for creating your first High Fidelity build for Windows 64-bit.
## Building High Fidelity
Note: We are now using Visual Studio 2017 and Qt 5.9.1. If you are upgrading from Visual Studio 2013 and Qt 5.6.2, do a clean uninstall of those versions before going through this guide.
### Step 1. Installing Visual Studio 2013
Note: The prerequisites will require about 10 GB of space on your drive.
If you don't already have the Community or Professional edition of Visual Studio 2013, download and install [Visual Studio Community 2013](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2013-community-vs). You do not need to install any of the optional components when going through the installer.
### Step 1. Visual Studio 2017
Note: Newer versions of Visual Studio are not yet compatible.
If you dont have Community or Professional edition of Visual Studio 2017, download [Visual Studio Community 2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/).
When selecting components, check "Desktop development with C++." Also check "Windows 8.1 SDK and UCRT SDK" and "VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset (x86,x64)" on the Summary toolbar on the right. In the end, your screen should look like this:
### Step 2. Installing CMake
Download and install the [CMake 3.8.0 win64-x64 Installer](https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.0-win64-x64.msi). Make sure "Add CMake to system PATH for all users" is checked when going through the installer.
Download and install the latest version of CMake 3.9. Download the file named win64-x64 Installer from the [CMake Website](https://cmake.org/download/). Make sure to check "Add CMake to system PATH for all users" when prompted during installation.
### Step 3. Installing Qt
Download and install the [Qt 5.6.2 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2013)](http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.6.2.exe).
Download and install the [Qt Online Installer](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/?hsCtaTracking=f977210e-de67-475f-a32b-65cec207fd03%7Cd62710cd-e1db-46aa-8d4d-2f1c1ffdacea). While installing, deselect components so that your window looks like this:
Note: Installing the Sources is optional but recommended if you have room for them (~2GB).
Keep the default components checked when going through the installer.
