## Overview
-Vcpkg helps you get C and C++ libraries on Windows. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success.
+Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are currently in a preview state; your involvement is vital to its success!
For short description of available commands, run `vcpkg help`.
## Quick Start
Prerequisites:
-- Windows 10, 8.1, or 7
-- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
+- Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Linux, or MacOS
+- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (on Windows)
- Git
- *Optional: CMake 3.10.2*
-Clone this repository, then run
+To get started:
```
-C:\src\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
+> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
+> cd vcpkg
+
+PS> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
+Ubuntu:~/$ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
```
+
Then, to hook up user-wide integration, run (note: requires admin on first use)
```
-C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install
+PS> .\vcpkg integrate install
+Ubuntu:~/$ ./vcpkg integrate install
```
+
Install any packages with
```
-C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
+PS> .\vcpkg install sdl2 curl
+Ubuntu:~/$ ./vcpkg install sdl2 curl
```
-Finally, create a New Project (or open an existing one) in Visual Studio 2017 or 2015. All installed libraries are immediately ready to be `#include`'d and used in your project.
-For CMake projects, simply include our toolchain file. See our [using a package](docs/examples/using-sqlite.md) example for the specifics.
+The best way to use installed libraries with CMake is via the toolchain file `scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`. To use this file, you simply need to add it onto your CMake command line as `-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[vcpkg root]\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake`.
+
+In Visual Studio, you can create a New Project (or open an existing one). All installed libraries are immediately ready to be `#include`'d and used in your project without additional configuration.
+
+For more information, see our [using a package](docs/examples/using-sqlite.md) example for the specifics.

+Additional notes on macOS and Linux support can be found in the [official announcement](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2018/04/24/announcing-a-single-c-library-manager-for-linux-macos-and-windows-vcpkg/).
