## Building Rainmeter ## Building Rainmeter
Rainmeter can be built using any (including free) version of Visual Stuido 2013. The free "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop" version can be downloaded [here](http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs). ### Get the source code
After Visual Studio has been installed and updated, open Rainmeter.sln to build. Use <a href="http://git-scm.com">Git</a> to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter.git
Alternatively, download the repository contents as a [ZIP archive](https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter/archive/master.zip).
### Building with Visual Studio
Rainmeter can be built using any version of Visual Studio 2013. If you don't already have VS2013, you can download the free "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop" version [here](http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs).
After Visual Studio has been installed and updated, open Rainmeter.sln at the root of the repository to build.
### Building the installer ### Building the installer
To build the full Rainmeter installer, run Build.bat. If you receive "not found" errors, open Build.bat and change the `set=` lines at the top to match your system. First, download and install <a href="https://code.google.com/p/unsis/downloads/list">NSIS Unicode</a> (download the Unicode version, not the ANSI version).
To sign the installer and the Rainmeter executables, create a Certificate.bat file alongside Build.bat with the following contents: Now you can simply run the <b>Build.bat</b> batch file in the Build folder of your local repository. If you see any "not found" errors, check that the paths in the `set` commands at the top of the file match your environment. To build the release (non-beta) installer, use `Build.bat RELEASE`.
To digitally sign the installer and the Rainmeter executables, obtain a Windows code signing certificate and create a Certificate.bat file alongside Build.bat with the following contents:
set CERTFILE=/path/to/PFXcert.p12 set CERTFILE=/path/to/PFXcert.p12
set CERTKEY=certpassword set CERTKEY=certpassword
Use `Build.bat RELEASE` to build a non-beta installer.
