In this article, you will find instructions on how to:

• Install the Boost C++ libraries
• Install a C++ compiler and debugger (if necessary)
• Set up an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) of your choice (Visual Studio Community or Visual Studio Code).
• Write, execute, and debug C# programs.

Notice: Visual Studio Community is easy to install but runs only on Windows. On the other hand, Visual Studio Code runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but it requires a little bit more effort to install. Particularly, Visual Studio Community includes a C++ compiler and debugger, while, Visual Studio Code requires installing them separately.

These instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux platform.

If you find any inconsistencies, please let me know, and I will update the instructions as soon as possible. To report issues, click here.
