Tools required to build TinyCAD

Microsoft Visual Studio

As TinyCAD is an open-source project, you may use the Free Community Edition of Visual Studio, which you can download directly from the Microsoft Visual Studio web site. Do not download Visual Studio Code as this is insufficient to build TinyCAD.

You will need at least Visual Studio 2019 to build TinyCAD.

Node.js and Limedocs Wiki Converter

Limedocs Wiki Converter is a tool that converts the TinyCAD Wiki pages in to a single HTML file to be distributed with the executable. This program is written in Javascript and requires Node.js for it to run.

You do not need to install this unless you are re-creating the documentation html file.

Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS)

Use version 2.40 or higher. Older versions may not support the feature set that TinyCAD is using. This very professional installer is Open Source and freely available from Sourceforge.

You do not need to install this unless you are going to create a new installer.
