If you wish to make it load in a window, you can just execute the script. Manually adding that in your profile will load it in every new window. + +

They can have one of the following forms:
`full/identity/path` - the full identity of an artifact that is in the built-in artifact source
`sourcename:full/identity/path` - the full identity of an artifact that is in the artifact source specified by the sourcename prefix
`shortname` - the shortened unique name of an artifact that is in the built-in artifact source
`sourcename:shortname` - the shortened unique name of an artifact that is in the artifact source specified by the sourcename prefix
Shortened names are generated based off the shortest unique identity path in the given source. | +| `artifact source` | Also known as a “feed”. An Artifact Source is a location that hosts metadata to locate artifacts. (_There is only one source currently_) | +| `activation` | The process by which a particular set of artifacts are acquired and enabled for use in a calling command program.| +| `versions` | Version numbers are specified using the Semver format. If a version for a particular operation isn't specified, a range for the latest version ( `*` ) is assumed. A version or version range can be specified using the npm semver matching syntax. When a version is stored, it can be stored using the version range specified, a space and then the version found. (ie, the first version is what was asked for, the second is what was installed. No need for a separate lock file.) | + + +# Contributing + +Please refer to the "contributing" section of the +[main `README.md`](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/README.md). + +This project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct][contributing:coc]. +For more information see the [Code of Conduct FAQ][contributing:coc-faq] +or email [opencode@microsoft.com](mailto:opencode@microsoft.com) +with any additional questions or comments. + +[contributing:submit-issue]: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/new/choose +[contributing:submit-pr]: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pulls +[contributing:coc]: https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/ +[contributing:coc-faq]: https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/ + +## Windows Contributing Prerequisites + +* Install Visual Studio and the C++ workload +* Install Node.JS by downloading a 16.x copy from https://nodejs.org/en/ +* `npm install -g @microsoft/rush` + +## Ubuntu 22.04 Contributing Prerequisites + +``` +curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash - +sudo apt update +sudo apt install nodejs cmake ninja-build gcc build-essential git zip unzip +sudo npm install -g @microsoft/rush +``` + +# License + +The product code in this repository is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE.txt).
