## Prerequisites
---
- Windows Vista or higher, 64-bit version.
- [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx)
- Dolphin does not require any of the optional packages offered by the Visual Studio 2015 installer, you may uncheck them all.
- Git is integrated into Visual Studio, and as such an external client is not required. However, you'll probably want one anyways for better control. [Git Extensions](http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitextensions/) (check MsysGit in the installer, and select "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt") or [the official git commandline package](http://git-scm.com/download/win) are recommended, although any other Git tool should work.
- If you get issues with scmrev.h, add the directory containing git to the PATH environment variable (and logoff/login or otherwise refresh the PATH variable in use).
- You can use any version of VS (Community Edition is free).
- Recommended packages for installation:

#### Cloning (Qt Dependencies)
If you want to build the DolphinQt project, and do not already have Qt SDK installed, you should get the required dependencies from a submodule provided for dolphin.
In Team Explorer, go to Changes > Actions > Open Command Prompt and execute `git submodule update --init --recursive`.
If you do not care about DolphinQt, you can just right click on the project and click "Unload Project".
