How to build FModel from source

[4sval]

It is sometimes necessary to build FModel from source for some users, either because the shipped executable becomes outdated, or simply to get new features as soon as they are pushed to GitHub.

We usually work with 2 branches, master and dev, where master represents the code of the stable version of FModel, and dev the code of the beta version + all the bug fixes, experimental changes, and upcoming features of the next release.

FModel is a C# project that requires the following things to be installed on your computer:

1. .NET SDK
2. CMake
3. C++ Desktop Development pack for Visual Studio

In order to build FModel from source, clone the repository and all its submodules.

git clone -b dev https://github.com/4sval/FModel.git --recursive

Open the project directory in a command line window and paste this command.

Go to {PROJECT_DIR}\FModel\bin\Publish to find your newly compiled FModel executable.
