# Hello World VST 3
[](https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3_example_plugin_hello_world/actions/workflows/cmake.yml)
## Introduction
Hello World VST 3 is a simple FX plug-in which was generated by the VST 3 Project Generator. It shows how to use the VST 3 SDK as an external project by using CMake's ```FetchContent``` module.
The file ```external/vst3sdk/CMakeLists.txt``` defines the content population details as well as the command that performs the actual population of the VST 3 SDK.
## Getting Started
To clone and create the project, open a command prompt and proceed as follows:
### Windows
```sh
git clone https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3_example_plugin_hello_world.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../vst3_example_plugin_hello_world
cmake --build .
```
### macOS
```sh
git clone https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3_example_plugin_hello_world.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GXcode ../vst3_example_plugin_hello_world
cmake --build .
```
### Linux
```sh
git clone https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3_example_plugin_hello_world.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../vst3_example_plugin_hello_world
cmake --build .
```
As soon as the project has been successfully built, you will find the plugin bundle in the build folder: ```Debug/VST3/HelloWorld.vst3```
