<div class="textblock"><p >This tutorial teaches you how to create a lightweight environment for D++ development using <b>WSL</b> and <b>Visual Studio Code</b></p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><b>This Tutorial will use WSL's default distribution, Ubuntu</b>! You can use other distros if you wish, <b>but keep in mind the setup process might be different!</b> If you're aiming for production, we recommend you continue your path of becoming the master of all Discord bots <a class="el" href="buildcmake.html">by visiting this page</a>, otherwise keep following this guide!</dd></dl>
<ol type="1">
<li>Make sure you have installed your WSL 2 environment properly using <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install">this guide to setup up WSL</a> and <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-vscode">this guide to connect to Visual Studio Code</a>.</li>
<li>Now open PowerShell as Administrator and type <code>wsl</code> to start up your subsystem. You may also type <code>ubuntu</code> into your search bar and open it that way.</li>
<li>Head on over to your home directory using <code>cd ~</code>.</li>
<li>Download the latest build for your distro using <code>wget [url here]</code>. In this guide we will use the latest build for 64 bit Ubuntu: <code>wget -O libdpp.deb <a href="https://dl.dpp.dev/latest">https://dl.dpp.dev/latest</a></code>.</li>
<li>Finally install all required dependencies and the library itself using <code>sudo apt-get install libopus0 libopus-dev && sudo dpkg -i libdpp.deb && rm libdpp.deb</code>.</li>
<li>Congratulations, you've successfully installed all dependencies! Now comes the real fun: Setting up the environment! For this tutorial we'll use a as small as possible setup, so you might create a more advanced one for production bots.</li>
<li>Create a new directory, inside your home directory, using <code>mkdir MyBot</code>. Then, you want to open that directory using <code>cd MyBot</code>.</li>
<li>Now that you've a directory to work in, type <code>touch mybot.cxx</code> to create a file you can work in!</li>
<li>Now, head on over to Visual Studio Code. Press <code>CTRL+SHIFT+P</code> and type <code>Remote-WSL: New WSL Window</code> (You don't have to type all of it, it will auto-suggest it!). This will bring up a new window. In the new window, choose <code>open folder</code> and choose the directory you've created prior (It should be within your home directory). Press OK and now you have your Folder opened as a Workspace!</li>
<li>Add code to your CXX file (We suggest using the <a class="el" href="firstbot.html">first bot page</a> if this is your first time!) and compile it by running <code>g++ -std=c++17 *.cxx -o bot -ldpp</code> in the same folder as your cxx file. This will create a "bot" file!</li>
<li>You can now start your bot by typing <code>./bot</code>!</li>
</ol>
<p >If everything was done right, you should be able to see your bot working! </p>
