Step by step instructions

Windows

Prerequisites

  • Windows 7, 8 or 10.
  • .Net-Framework (at least v4) is installed
  • Visual Studio is installed (Community Edition is sufficient)

1. Clone the repo

Clone the repository via git command git clone https://github.com/Rillke/Contact-Conversion-Wizard.git

Alternatively download the repo as .zip file and extract to directory of your choosing on your PC

2. Open the Visual Studio

Open the solution file Contact-Conversion-Wizard.sln in the subfolder source

3. Restore NuGet packages

You can either restore the packages via the GUI by clicking on Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution... Visual Studio should now list all required packages and you can either install them manually one by one or just click on "Restore" in the top, yellow marked bar.

Alternatively you can open the NuGet Package Manager Console via Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console. Restore the packages with the command nuget install packages.config

4. Build or run the application

Click on "Start" to build and run the application (or press F5) or right click the solution or project in the Solution Explorer (or press F6) to just build the application without running it.
