#### 3. Build From Source
*For Linux:*   
Normally you can directly use the binraries in `bin/linux` directory (e.g. `bin/linux/x86_64/vtoydump`).  
These binaries are static built version and should work for most distros.  
Also you can build from source for your distro. Of course, `gcc` must be available before build.  
Just run `sh build.sh` to build vtoydump.   
If your OS is x86_64 then the output `vtoydump` is just for x86_64 architecture, so as for i386 and arm64.  

*For Windows:*   
Normally you can directly use the binraries in `bin/windows` directory (e.g. `bin/windows/NT6/64/vtoydump.exe`).  
Also you can build from source for your distro. Of course, `VisualStudio` must be installed before build.  
Just click the bat file (e.g. `build64.bat`) to build vtoydump.exe.
