Step 1: Clone VVCEasy git and open up VVCEasy_compiler.iss file
cd %userprofile%\Downloads
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
VVCEasy_compiler.iss
Step 2: Press F9 on your keyboard to make installer. After that, VVCEasy.exe (Installer) can be found in the Install folder.
VVCEasy .NET Console Version (optional)
You need .NET SDK installed from Microsoft. Link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

Step 2: Start building the project by command:
dotnet build -c Release
Step 3: Once build is done, the result folder directory is bin/Release
cd bin/Release
[!TIP] You can run VVCEasy without building.
