# Windows

## Hardware Requirements

Your hardware requirements depend on the asset You plan to build with our engine. Of course the more complicated your asset is, the more computing power You have to deliver for your asset. This computing power defines your hardware requirement.

## SDK

Download our SDKs from [here](https://github.com/MTASZTAKI/ApertusVR/releases/tag/v0.9).

## Building from source

1\. Clone repository

```
$ git clone -b develop --single-branch https://github.com/MTASZTAKI/ApertusVR.git
```

2\. Configure ApertusVR using [cmake-gui](https://cmake.org/runningcmake/) or [ccmake ](https://cmake.org/runningcmake/)by toggling and setting options. For tying out TesterPlugin and TesterSample, in a simple scenario, select only the following variables in CMake:

* APE\_PLUGIN\_AssimpAssetLoader
* APE\_PLUGIN\_OgreRender
* APE\_PLUGIN\_OgreRender\_HydraxNew
* APE\_PLUGIN\_OisUserInput
* APE\_PLUGIN\_Tester
* APE\_SAMPLE\_Tester

3\. Generate project files using [cmake](https://cmake.org/)

4\. Open the generated project and **build** it in the IDE you have selected previously at [cmake ](https://cmake.org/)configuration

6\. Build the project

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://apertus.gitbook.io/vr/installation/windows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
