## 2.2 Compiling and running
### Windows:
1. Check out the repository. This can be done using [GitHub Windows](https://windows.github.com/) or [other tools](https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use).
2. Open the solution in the projects directory (**openrct2.sln**) with Visual Studio.
3. [Select the 'Release' configuration](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wx0123s5.aspx) and click Build -> Rebuild Solution. The dropdown menu to enable the 'release' configuration is towards the top of the VS Express window, near the "TEST" menu.
4. Start debugging. Press the "Local Windows Debugger" button with a green "play" icon next to it. If Visual Studio shows a warning about *openrct2.exe* not having debug information, press Continue.
5. When OpenRCT2 is run for the first time, it creates a settings file in `My Documents/OpenRCT2`. If it can't find the original installation of RCT2, you will need to edit `config.ini` in that folder and change the value of `game_path` to where RCT2 is installed.
6. If the game crashes, you may need to press the red, square Stop button along the top of VS Express to stop the program.
2. Open a new PowerShell window and navigate to the repository.
3. Run the setenv.ps1 script in the repository to setup your PowerShell environment for OpenRCT2 development. This will warn you off any missing applications required to build OpenRCT2.
4. Run ```install``` to download the required dependencies to build OpenRCT2.
5. Run ```build all``` to build all the required components for OpenRCT2.
6. Run ```run``` to run OpenRCT2.
Alternatively, to simply build the project you can just execute ``build.bat`` within VS2015 Native Tools Command prompt or Github Windows prompt.
These PowerShell scripts are stored in ```.\scripts\ps``` and have parameters. Once you have use the build script once, further development can be done within Visual Studio by opening ```openrct2.sln```. The build scripts have several commands allowing you to rebuild certain components such g2.dat or language files.
### Mac OS X:
We support native builds OS X (limited to i386 only for now).
