# 1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
## CMake (Unix)
```sh
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. # Default to Unix Makefiles.
make
make verify # (optional)
```
See [Documentation/Building#Building on Unix using CMake](/Documentation/Building.md#building-on-unix-cmake) for more information.
## CMake (Windows)
Install CMake: <https://cmake.org/>
```sh
md build && cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" .. # Or use any generator you want to use. Run cmake --help for a list
cmake --build . --config Release # Or "start libevent.sln" and build with menu in Visual Studio.
```
See [Documentation/Building#Building on Windows](/Documentation/Building.md#building-on-windows) for more information.
## Package Managers
You can download and install libevent using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install libevent
```
The libevent port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
## Autoconf
*Note, since 2.2 it is deprecated*
```sh
./configure
