How to Build

1. Download & Install Microsoft Visual Studio
   The Community Edition of Visual Studio 2015 is free for personal use.
   See https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx

2. Clone, Fork, or download the GW2 Personal Assistant Overlay source code from the GitHub repository. Note that during development, multiple branches may be used, with a different branch for each new feature of the next release. The 'master' branch contains the source for the latest release, with the 'develop' branch containing the latest, stable source code for the next release.

3. Open the GW2PAO.sln solution in Visual Studio to compile/build the application.

NuGet Package Management

The GW2 PAO solution makes use of several third-party libraries using the NuGet package manager. When first building the solution, these should automatically download for use in the build process.

Release Build Configurations

The GW2 PAO solution includes 2 different Release build configurations:

• Release - Includes all possible features for the application
• Release_NoBrowser - Excludes the web browser feature of the application
