+# Required C++ Tools
+To be able to use the Geode SDK, you **will** need at least the following:
+* [A C++ compiler](#compiler)
+* [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/)
+* [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
+
+## Compiler
+To use the Geode SDK, and in turn make Geometry Dash mods, you will need either:
+* [Visual Studio](#windows) on Windows
+* [clang](#macos) on MacOS
+* [A secret third thing](#linux) on Linux
+
+### Windows
+From the [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) website, you can download the Visual Studio IDE along with the compiler. If you want **just** the compiler, look for *Build Tools for Visual Studio* further down in the page.
+
+After launching the installer, look for **Desktop development with C++**. You may choose other features, but you **will** need at least ***MSVC*** and ***Windows SDK*** installed.
+
+Once its installed, you should now have a working C++ compiler installed that is suited for GD mod development.
+
+### MacOS
+For macos u install clang somehow sorry
+
+### Linux
+Linux is well.. complicated

+# Creating a new mod
+After all that setup, you can now create your first mod!
+
+To do this, open up a terminal where you want to create your project and run:
+```bash
+geode new
+```
+Follow the given prompts and afterwards you should have a new folder containing the code for your mod.
+
+## Files
+
+You may notice the project already comes with a few files. Lets go over them:
+- `CMakeLists.txt` - This is the main file for your CMake project.
+- `about.md` - Here you can write a very long description page for your mod, in markdown. Think of it as a README for your mod! This file is technically optional, but highly recommended.
+- `logo.png` - This is the icon for your mod, which shows up in-game. This file is technically optional, but highly recommended.
+- `mod.json` - This json file contains all the metadata about your mod, such as name, version, custom resources, settings, etc. [See this page for detailed info]()
+
+If you plan on releasing your mod, **please** edit the about.md and logo.png files!
+
+The source code for your mod can be found inside the `src` folder.
+
+## Additional Files
+Geode will also look for these special files within your mod folder:
+- `changelog.md` - Lists all of the changes between versions to the mod; [see detailed info](/mods/md-files)
+- `support.md` - Is free-form info about how to show support to the developer of the mod; [see detailed info](/mods/md-files)
+
+# Build
+Now, to build your mod you have a few options: \
+If youre using an IDE such as Clion, VScode or Visual Studio, head over to the [IDE Setup]() page.
+
+Otherwise if you want to build your mods manually from the command line you can do that by simply running these commands in your mod's folder:
+```bash
+# Configure CMake (WINDOWS)
+cmake -B build -A win32
+
+# Configure CMake (Other platforms)
+cmake -B build
+
+# Build the project
+cmake --build build --config RelWithDebInfo
+```

+
+# Geode CLI
+The Geode SDK has its own command line utility program to aid in many tasks involved in mod, such as asset packing, font generation, managing the SDK, etc.
+
+# Installation
+
+* [Windows](#windows)
+* [MacOS](#macos)
+
+## Windows
+If you have [scoop](https://scoop.sh/) you can easily install the cli by doing:
+```bash
+scoop install https://geode-sdk.org/geode-sdk-cli.json
+```
+
+---
+
+Otherwise, you can manually install it by:
+1. Download the latest windows release over at [GitHub](https://github.com/geode-sdk/cli/releases/latest)
+1. Extract the `geode.exe` into some folder on your computer
+1. Select the CLI executable in File Explorer, Shift + Right-Click it and select `Copy as Path`
+1. Search `Edit the system environment variables` on Windows search. Alternatively, you can open up Control Panel and search for it, then select `Edit the system environment variables` or **to skip straight to step 6 select `Edit environment variables for your account`**.
+1. Click `Environment Variables...`
+1. In the top `User variables` section, select the `Path` variable and click `Edit`
+1. Now click `New` and paste the path of the CLI executable you copied at Step 1. **Remove the `\geode.exe` from the end;** the path has to point to the _directory_ with Geode CLI, not the CLI itself.
+1. Click OK to close the environment variable windows.
+
+---
+
+After either way of installing it, you should now be able to run `geode --version` in your cmd and see a version number!
+
+It is recommended that you [set up a profile now](#profile-setup).
+
+## MacOS
+
+i dont know either sorry mac ppl
+
+It is recommended that you [set up a profile now](#profile-setup).
+
+# Profile Setup
+
+A profile is just an instance of Geometry Dash. It's a good idea to set up one up for CLI so your mods can be automatically installed post build.
+
+To setup a new profile, simply run the `geode config setup` command on your terminal.

+# Prerequisites
+Before you get started with developing with the Geode SDK, there are a few prerequisites that you should know about!
+* Prior C++ knowledge is **HIGHLY** recommended. We do not intend in helping you at C++ from the very basics.
+* Installing [Geode](https://geode-sdk.org/install/) itself! you want to test your own mods dont you?
+
+It is recommended that you follow the tutorials on this chapter in order.

+title: 2. Setting up the SDK
+order: 4
+---
+
+# Setting up the SDK
+To install the SDK we will be using the CLI installed on the previous step.
+
+To download the sdk, you can simply run the command:
+```bash
+geode sdk install
+```
+This *should* set the `GEODE_SDK` enviroment variable, which can you test after reopening your terminal:
+```bash
+# on windows
+echo %GEODE_SDK%
+
+# elsewhere
+echo $GEODE_SDK
+```
+
+If that command prints out the path you installed the SDK to, then it has worked correctly.
+
+To develop mods, you should also download the prebuilt binaries for Geode, which you can do by running this command:
+```bash
+geode sdk install-binaries
+```
+
+## Updating
+You will need to manually update your local SDK every once in a while, which you do by running this command:
+```bash
+geode sdk update
+```
+
+do you need to run install-binaries after this? i forgot
+
+---
+
+You can also switch to the **nightly** version, which uses the latest commit.
+```bash
+geode sdk update nightly
+```
+
+Or to go back to stable:
+```bash
+geode sdk update stable
+```
