How To Build

---

Step 1: Clone the plugin

• Open the Project folder (where you can see the .uproject file).
• Create and open (or Open if it exists) the Plugins Folder.
• Right click and open git bash and run :

  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ForMyDearest/RuntimeMeshLoader

• if you can't see the git bash option you need to install git from Git
• you can see if this step was done correctly if Plugins\RuntimeMeshLoader\Source\ThirdParty\AssimpLibrary\assimp folder is populated.

Step 2: Build assimp:

• Open the Plugins/RuntimeMeshLoader/Source/ThirdParty/AssimpLibrary/assimp/ directory and open a terminal.
