Figure 18.2

Once downloaded, OGRE can be installed on Windows using the typical installer. After the install there will be a folder on the hard disk containing documentation, source files, and a number of sample projects that are intended to be compiled and run, not just as a confidence test but to see some of the things OGRE can do. The sample projects are installed in the samples folder, and the project workspace that resides there should be opened in the IDE of choice, either Visual Studio or Code::Blocks.
