# libigl example project
A blank project example showing how to use libigl and cmake can be found
[here](https://github.com/libigl/libigl-example-project). Feel free and
encouraged to copy or fork this project as a way of starting a new personal
project using libigl.
## See the tutorial first
Then build, run and understand the [libigl tutorial](./tutorial.md).
## Compile
Compile this project using the standard cmake routine:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
This should find and build the dependencies and create a `example_bin` binary.
## Run
From within the `build` directory just issue:
./example_bin
A glfw app should launch displaying a 3D cube.
## Dependencies
The only dependencies are stl, eigen, [libigl](https://libigl.github.io/) and
the dependencies of the `igl::opengl::glfw::Viewer`.
We recommend to install libigl using git via:
git clone https://github.com/libigl/libigl.git
cd libigl/
git checkout 6ebc585611d27d8e2038bbbf9cb4910c51713848
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
If you have installed libigl at `/path/to/libigl/` then a good place to clone
this library is `/path/to/libigl-example-project/`.
