Make sure to clone the project and its submodules, and then follow these steps:\n\n```\nmkdir build\ncd build\ncmake ..\ncmake --build . --config Release\n```\n\nMore details can be found in the [docs](https://vinnyhorgan.github.io/pesto/building/).\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\nThanks to all these amazing people:\n\n- [Raylib](https://www.raylib.com/)\n- [LuaJIT](https://luajit.org/)\n- [Love2D](https://love2d.org/)\n- [Lovr](https://lovr.org/)\n- [ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui)\n- [Enet](https://github.com/lsalzman/enet)\n- [Awesome Love2D](https://github.com/love2d-community/awesome-love2d/)\n- [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/)\n\n## License\n\nPesto is licensed under the MIT License.
