# Building :cold_sweat:

1. Install CEF4Delphi: https://www.briskbard.com/index.php?lang=en&pageid=cef as a component in your IDE.

2. Add library path to /sources.

3. Open this project

4. Download required runtime dependencies for the CEF library [from spotify.](http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html).

5. Copy files from /Release and /Resources into the build output folder.

6. Build the project and run.

# What now :confused:

- Passing messages between the web context and the desktop app?

- Find an actual use-case/project where we can use this.

# Why CEF? :boom:

- it provides strong and rich client features, such as HTML5, css, javascript audio playback etc.

- its used by Steam, Spotify, Battle.net, League of Legends, UPlay, Minecraft, Unity 3D, Unreal Engine

- cant we just use the browser? well sometimes you just want to be a desktop app I guess.

What is the chrome embedded framework? :cat:
