has a <code>CMakeLists.txt</code> file in the root directory but no CMake presets, you can skip to <a href="#_Create-a-CMakePresets.json-file">Create a <code>CMakePresets.json</code> file</a> to configure your project with CMake presets.</p> <p>Otherwise, create a folder for a new project. From the Terminal window, create an empty folder called <code>HelloWorld</code>, navigate into it, and open VS Code in that folder by entering the following commands:</p> <pre class="shiki" style="background-color: #1e1e1e"><code><span class="line"><span style="color: #BBBBBB">mkdir helloworld</span></span> <span class="line"><span style="color: #DCDCAA">cd</span><span style="color: #BBBBBB"> helloworld</span></span> <span class="line"><span style="color: #BBBBBB">code </span><span style="color: #DCDCAA">.</span></span> <span class="line"></span></code></pre> <p>The <code>code .</code> command opens VS Code in the current working folder, which becomes your "workspace".</p> <h2 id="_create-a-cmakeliststxt-file" data-needslink="_create-a-cmakeliststxt-file">Create a CMakeLists.txt file</h2> <p>The CMake Tools extension can create the files for a basic CMake project for you.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Open the Command Palette (<span class="dynamic-keybinding" data-commandId="workbench.action.showCommands" data-osx="鈬р寴P" data-win="Ctrl+Shift+P" data-linux="Ctrl+Shift+P"><span class="keybinding">鈬р寴P</span> (Windows, Linux <span class="keybinding">Ctrl+Shift+P</span>)</span>) and run the <strong>CMake: Quick Start</strong> command:</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/cpp/cpp/cmake-quickstart-command-palette.png" alt="Create CMake quickstart" loading="lazy"></p> </li> <li> <p>Enter a project name, and select and <strong>C++</strong> as the project language.</p> <p>This information will be written to <code>CMakeLists.txt</code> and a few initial source files.</p> <blockquote><p><strong>Note:</strong> If you had other source code files in this folder that you wanted to add as targets to the <code>CmakeLists.txt</code>, an option to add these would now be given. But for this tutorial, we will stick with just the hello world file.</p> </blockquote></li> <li> <p>Select <strong>CTest</strong> as an additional option to add support for testing. You can also select <strong>CPack</strong> for CPack support.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/cpp/cpp/cmake-quickstart-options.png" alt="Additional Options" loading="lazy"></p> </li> <li> <p>Next, select <strong>Executable</strong> as the project type to create a basic source file (<code>main.cpp</code>) that includes a basic <code>main()</code> function.</p> <p><img src="/assets/docs/cpp/cpp/cmake-choose-type.png" alt="Choose project type" loading="lazy"></p> <blockquote><p><strong>Note:</strong> If you had wanted to create a basic source and header file, you would have selected <strong>Library</strong> instead.
