2. First step

Okay, time to run some code! Now we will check the tools we need, create a project with one executable, then build and run it. Try to follow instructions accurately. The goal of this section is to run the simplest configuration with commonly/widely used tools. After you’ve checked that everything is fine and feel comfortable you can find more options in: Platforms, Generators and Compilers. Each command’s usage/pitfalls will be described in depth further in Tutorials.
