# Overview
This guide describes how to build CubicSDR together with its dependencies and some common SoapySDR modules (support for SDR hardware).
While the focus is on Visual Studio 2019, it works also for either Visual Studio 2017 or even 2015. The 2019 version is the last iteration of the 2015 generation, so use this one preferably.
Visual Studio 2019 also has better compiler optimizations which may result a faster CubicSDR.
While the focus is on Visual Studio 2022, it works also for either 2019, 2017, or even 2015. The 2022 version is the last iteration of the 2015 generation, so use this one preferably.
Visual Studio 2022 also has better compiler optimizations which may result a faster CubicSDR.
Interesting point, VS2019 produces binaries compatible with either VS2015 or VS2017 ones so there is no point of not using VS2019 whatsoever.
Interesting point, VS 2022 produces binaries compatible with earlier 2015 / 2017 / 2019 versions so there is no point of not using VS 2022 whatsoever.
Alternatively if you don't want to compile anything and use pre-built binaries instead, you can install the [PothosSDR distribution](https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/wiki/Tutorial) (Resources / Download installer) which contains a Win64 build of the latest CubicSDR source code together with all the existing SoapySDR modules to talk to any SDR device.
Given a new version is released roughly every month, you may get more recent CubicSDR binaries than from the [official
release page.](https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/releases)
# Install Visual Studio Community 2019
# Install Visual Studio Community 2022
If you don't already have Visual Studio 2019 you can install the free Microsoft "Visual Studio Community 2019" version available from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ which was used for this guide.
If you don't already have Visual Studio 2022 you can install the free Microsoft "Visual Studio Community 2022" version available from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ which was used for this guide.
During installation with the 'Visual Studio Installer' make sure you select at least the `C++ Desktop development` category or you'll be unable to compile the project due to the missing C++ tools. Alternatively, you can select more focused `Individual Components` for a finer-grained installation.
