4 - Download the source code:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mehah/otclient.git
cd otclient

5 - Checkout nightly branch (optional):

git checkout main

6 - Folder structure:

.
├── otclient
└── vcpkg

7 - Configure and build:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake .. --preset linux-release
cmake --build linux-release

-- Running vcpkg install

This step will take a long time on the first run, as it needs to download and install all the dependencies, so be patient!
