For windows user

1. Create build folder in project root

2. Run cmake gui(Configure and Generate)

You need to re-run cmake whenever you add more source files (*.h, *.cpp)

3. Set path for build and source folder

Set source code directory to project-root.

Set build directory to project-root/build.
