+# [Jetbrains IntellIJ CLion](https://www.jetbrains.com/clion)
+
+## Linux
+
+When opening the folder for the first time, select `Open as CMake project` if the IDE ask you between Make and CMake.
+
+The IDE will open the folder and display the open project wizard:
+
+
+
+CLion try to determine a base configuration, but Minetest define it's own presets for easier setup. So you need to
+delete the `Debug` profile with the `-` sign and close the dialog.
+
+You should notice a notification telling you 4 presets have been loaded in the bottom right corner.
+
+
+
+Clicking on the `View` link or going to `Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > CMake` you should get a window
+similar to the Open Project Wizard, but with the readonly presets listed.
+
+
+
+By default, none of the presets are enabled. You can select them and enable the ones you want. Keep in mind that
+triggering the CMake project reload (VCS updates, config changes, etc) will reload all the enabled profiles, so unless
+you need the other ones you can enable just `Debug` and `Release`.
+
+If none of the availlable profiles fit your needs, you can create a `CMakeUserPresets.json` file, edit it by hand and
+CLion will load the presets in this window. But the easiest solution is to create an editable copy of one of the availlable
+presets with the `Copy` button icon.
+
+After these steps you should get an IDE like this.
+
+On the main toolbar at the top right, you have a dropdown for selecting the CMake profile to use for the build. You have another dropdown next to it to select the build target; by default the `minetest` executable will be selected, but you may also have to use `IrrlichtMt` for building just the library .
+
+
+
+You can rightclick the topbar to change the project icon and color, for fancier looking IDE.
+
+## Windows
+
+Under Windows, the recommended compiler is the [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com) compiler.
+
+From the Visual Studio installer, you need to install the `Desktop development with C++` Workload. CMake is already
+bundled in CLion.
+
+By default, CLion have a MinGW compiler bundled, so if you want to use Visual Studio, you need to configure it as the default compiler.
+
+CLion may ask you in the open project wisard for your compilers, with MinGW and Visual Studio if you have installed it predefined. You can use the arrows to make `Visual Studio` the default.
+
+If not you can go to `Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Toolchains` to change it.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Then, the process is roughly similar to Linux, you just need to pick `Visual Studio` as toolchain.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+[Vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io) is the recommended way of installing Minetest dependencies.
+
+You need to let CLion know about a `vcpkg` installation to let the bundled CMake use the dependencies seamlessly and get
+IDE integration. (Require CLion 2023 or later)
+
+Go to `View > Tool Windows > Vcpkg` and click the add button. I will open a popup allowing you to add a Vcpkg
+installation. By default it will download a new one that you can use to install your dependencies, but if you already
+have one installed or you do not plan on using CLion only then install Vcpkg by hand and select your installation
+directory. Don't forget to check `Add vcpkg installation to existing CMake profiles`. If you haven't already installed
+Minetest dependencies in your vcpkg installation, you can do it right from CLion's Vcpkg tool window.
+
+
+
+Reloading the CMake project (should happen automatically, or display a notification for outdated CMake project) will now
+load the dependencies.
+

+# [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com)
+
+From the Visual Studio installer, you need to install the `Desktop development with C++` Workload. You need to make sure the `C++ CMake tools for Windows` component is included in the installation details panel.
+
+You need to install [Vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io) and install Minetest dependencies as stated in the compilation documentation.
+
+For the packages to be discoverable and used by Visual Studio, you need to run `vcpkg integrate install`.

+# [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)
+
+VSCode suppport for C/C++ and CMake is provided by
+the [Microsoft C/C++ extension pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools-extension-pack).
+You can install it from the VSCode extensions tab.
+
+If you use a unofficial VSCode distribution like [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com), you will need to install the
+extension pack manually by downloading the VSIX files and going to `Extensions > ... > Install from VSIX`.
+
+CMake support for VSCode uses CMake presets provided by the project by default.
+
+When you open the Minetest folder with VSCode, you should get a quick pick asking you for the default preset.
+
+
+
+You can use the bottom bar to change the CMake profile, change the build target, build, run and debug (running/debugging doesn't build first).
+
+
+
+Like most of the VSCode experience, it may be faster to use commands directly (most of the VSCode UI just trigger commands).
+
+| Command Name | Usecase |
+|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
+| `CMake: Select Configure Preset` | Change the current CMake profile |
+| `CMake: Set Build Target` | Change the current build target |
+| `CMake: Build` | Build current target |
+| `CMake: Clean` | Clean build files |
+| `CMake: Run Without Debugging` | Run selected run target |
+| `CMake: Debug` | Debug selected run target |
+
+## Windows
+
+Under Windows, the recommended compiler is the [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com) compiler.
+
+From the Visual Studio installer, you need to install the `Desktop development with C++` Workload.
+
+[Vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io) is the recommended way of installing Minetest dependencies.
+
+Follow the official documentation to install it and install Minetest dependencies as explained in [Windows compilation process](../compiling/windows.md).
+
+You need to let CMake know about the `vcpkg` installation in VSCode.
+
+Modify your `.vscode/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+ "cmake.configureSettings": {
+ "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "C:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
+ }
+}
+```
