#### Getting Started

The documentation, listed below, is extremely helpful to help configure your project for packaging. The article below does not cover optimizations, advanced packaging, or the build tools needed to compile the project (those are listed below).

<p class="callout info">In this field, you will find many synonyms for workflows, tools, etc. **Packaging** in Unreal is also referred to a **Build**, an **EXE** (Windows), an **APK** (Android), an **App** or **Application**, or a **Distributable**. </p>

#### Packaging Tools Needed  


Visual Studio will need to be installed, along with the following **components**/**workloads** from the Visual Studio Installer. Generally, these **packages are already installed on SCiL workstations**.

- Install .NET SDK
- Game development with C++ **\[Workload\]**
