Is there a C++ shortcut to use this engine?
I have encountered many problems.
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.18/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:165 (message):

This error can be corrected by adding your git directory to your windows path.
I will also build a windows development SDK for 3.0 and post a link to it

I don’t understand the use of git at all.
I only use VS2019 C++, this preparation is too difficult for me.
I encountered many problems following the MSVC configuration method described by engine-master\ReadMe.md.
Is there a simple way to reach VS2019 C++, or complete instructions?
Thank you

These are pretty complete:
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/wikis/Using%20MSVC](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/wikis/Using%20MSVC)
Option 1:
You can remove `REQUIRED` from this line in your copy of the file
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/blob/master/cmake/external/CMakeLists.txt#L8](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/blob/master/cmake/external/CMakeLists.txt#L8)
(I believe Pulse will build without it, if not let me know)
Option 2, Install Git:
On windows, get the 64bit installer from here
