[copper sigil]

[copper sigil]

okii

[regal void]

no nvm

[copper sigil]

[regal void]

open your visual studio installer and show a screenshot of what you have selected

Getting Started With Visual Studio

New here and looking to quickly get started with C or C++ on Windows? Follow the steps in this thread to compile and run your first bits of code in Visual Studio.

[regal void]

click the "modify" button

[visual crater]

this thread has all the info on what to install to use VS properly for C++

[regal void]

the UI looks so ancient

[regal void]

yeah i have a lot of them selected
can you show the photof of components on the left side ?

[regal void]

like this

[copper sigil]

yea it` s already downloaded

oh jesus 7 gbs

[regal void]

uncheck the desktop development and check it again , and see if it changes things in the list to the side

[copper sigil]

jesus, do ii need all of that

[regal void]

ok now you have them all , go ahead with the installation

[copper sigil]

cant i cut any of them short ? kind of low on storage

[regal void]

are you on windows 10 or 11 ?

[copper sigil]

11

[regal void]

then idk , maybe remove the github copilot , but i doubt that does anything significant to storage size

most of the heavy ones like the build tools , the debugger , address sanitizer etc are pretty good things you should install

[copper sigil]

well, shit, guess am downloading all of them

ty guys

[regal void]

you probably dont need vcpkg package manager , the windows 11 SDK , the Boost test adapter the google test adapter

but i would honestly install them all , 5 gig or smth is not too much in today's age

[copper sigil]

guys

i have a bit of weird question thats outside of this whole issue but is still related to c++

once u get good at c++, what can u do

[visual crater]

you do need the SDK

[regal void]

oh ok
my bad xd , i thought u need that only if u are gonna make windows applications

[regal void]

...projects ?

[copper sigil]

yup

[visual crater]

that's what all programs compiled with VS are

[copper sigil]

also weird thing, but add in mind that i arleady know how to do animations, motion graphics

[regal void]

the general idea is "do what you find fun"

but, why did you start C++ ? what was your objective behind learning C++ ?

[copper sigil]

tis will be embarressing but really its just for college

[regal void]

are you interested in programming at all ? what are you studying in college ? like , CS ? electronics ? .. .?

[copper sigil]

cs

i like programming but like not the number 1 thing am passionate abt

more like 3th thing

[regal void]

then look at https://discord.com/channels/331718482485837825/1014331272362999920 and choose an idea that you like to make

although if you just started learning C++ , it will be a long time before you learn C++ so you will be spending few weeks mostly just learning things and writing simple stuff in terminal

[copper sigil]

hmm, i see

well

thank you sir
