Installing

1. Clone the repository and its submodules:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/MohammadMDSA/Darius.git

2. Install dependencies

   1. Install Boost and have Boost_ROOT environment variable pointing to where you've installed Boost.
   2. Install FBX SDK.
      1. Download FBX SDK 2020 from FBX SDK website and install it.
      2. Have FBXSDK_ROOT system environment variable pointing to where you've installed FBX SDK.
   3. (Optional) Install Pix and have WinPixEventRuntime_DIR enviroment variable pointing to its install directory. It must contain Include/ and bin/ as its subdirectories and enable ENABLE_PIX cmake option.

3. Configure and Build using CMake and MSVC compiler. (Other compilers may work but have not been tested)

4. Run Darius executable to run Darius Editor with demo project.
