# vcpkg.nuget-example
[](https://b3ngr33ni3r.visualstudio.com/vcpkg.nuget/_build/latest?definitionId=5)
An example __msbuild__ `c++` project that leverages [vcpkg.nuget](https://github.com/bengreenier/vcpkg.nuget) for dependencies
## Usage
> Note: This is simply a demo app, as such it doesn't do much :smile_cat:
```
λ ./ExampleApp
λ ./ExampleApp -h
./ExampleApp {OPTIONS}
This is a test program.
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Display this help menu
This goes after the options.
λ
```
## Walkthrough
Creating a new Visual Studio Project
Create a new project following [these instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/walkthrough-creating-a-standard-cpp-program-cpp?view=vs-2017).
Adding Vcpkg.nuget
+ Open the "Manage Nuget Packages..." pane
+ In the "Browse" tab, search for "Vcpkg.Nuget"
+ In the Description area, click "Install" to install the package :tada:
Configuring Vcpkg.nuget
+ Unload your project
+ Edit your project
+ Append an `ItemGroup` with `VcpkgPackage` entries (one for each port)
+ Reload your project
Building
Build your project as normal - you'll notice Build Output for vcpkg is now in place:
