project(engine) set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11) Great! Our engine has officially started! Nice job. cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16.1 FATAL_ERROR) Copy this number and lets add this line to the top of our file. The output will tell you the version of CMake that you have installed. In the terminal, enter the command… cmake -version This will signal to CMake to only attempt to build our project if a new enough version of CMake is installed. The very first line needs to be the minimum version of CMake we intend this file to work with. Let’s write our first line the CMakeLists.txt file we created. Also, pop open a terminal and cd (change directory) into the root of the project. So go ahead and open up our project in your favourite code editor. I will explain what’s going on but it will be up to you to figure it out for your operating system.

Let’s get cracking! This series is going to be making use of the terminal, so you will want to brush up on using the command line for your operating system.
