Open Source PowerShell Libraries

Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user.

This repository contains the source code used to create the VM images for GitHub-hosted runners used for Actions, as well as for Microsoft-hosted agents used for Azure Pipelines. To build a VM machine from this repo's source, see the instructions.

A single fact determines the starting point of configuration, and that fact can be the same regardless of whether the software is running standalone under a logged-in user's account, or launched from another program with debugger access, or as a service or daemon, or even as a component within a dynamically linked library.

- Suitable for engineering, ERP, research tasks. - Can be easily used as a local database in C# application. - Can be run as "listening" service on a local machine or a server. - Nested data structures supported. - PowerShell interface. See project Wiki for more.
