+# Compiling UEVR
+
+## Necessary prerequisites
+
+Your GitHub account must have access to the [EpicGames](https://github.com/EpicGames/) GitHub organization. If you do not have access, you will not be able to compile UEVR.
+
+This is because the [UESDK](https://github.com/praydog/UESDK) submodule is a fork of the [EpicGames/UnrealEngine](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine) repository. You must have an SSH key set up with your GitHub account and an SSH agent running in order to clone the UESDK submodule.
+
+A C++23 compatible compiler is required. Visual Studio 2022 is recommended. Compilers other than MSVC have not been tested.
+
+CMake is required.
+
+## Compiling
+
+###  Clone the repository
+
+#### SSH
+```
+git clone git@github.com:praydog/UEVR.git
+```
+
+#### HTTPS
+```
+git clone https://github.com/praydog/UEVR
+```
+
+### Initialize the submodules
+
+```
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+### Set up CMake
+
+#### Command line
+
+```
+cmake -S . -B build ./build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake --build ./build --config Release --target uevr
+```
+
+#### VSCode
+
+1. Install the [CMake Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools) extension
+2. Open the UEVR folder in VSCode
+3. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` and select `CMake: Configure`
+4. When "Select a kit" appears, select `Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - amd64`
+5. Select the desired build config (usually `Release` or `RelWithDebInfo`)
+6. You should now be able to compile UEVR by pressing `Ctrl+Shift+P` and selecting `CMake: Build` or by pressing `F7`
