# Run a first vcpkg example

Start with the smallest workflow described by the README for **vcpkg**. Complete [installation and configuration](/docs/up-to-code-vcpkg/installation-guide) first.

## First-run instructions

The captured README does not include a runnable quick-start example. Use the linked source reference to identify the public entry point and its prerequisites. Do not assume the repository name is an installable package.



## Next task

[Read the usage guide](/docs/up-to-code-vcpkg/usage-guide) for the documented components, configuration, and source layout.

## Source and help

- [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Up-to-code/vcpkg)
- [Original README](https://github.com/Up-to-code/vcpkg/blob/master/README.md)
- [Issues and existing reports](https://github.com/Up-to-code/vcpkg/issues)
