After build, our CLI binary `kuzu_shell` is available under the directory `build/release/tools/shell/`.

### Building on Windows
Currently MSVC is the only supported compiler:

- In addition to the dependencies listed above, you will also need GNU Make and Ninja (E.g. with [Chocolatey](https://community.chocolatey.org/): `choco install make ninja`).
- Build from within a "Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt" (or manually run vcvars64.bat for cmd or Launch-VsDevShell.ps1 for powershell. See [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/how-to-enable-a-64-bit-visual-cpp-toolset-on-the-command-line?view=msvc-170) and [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/command-prompt-powershell?view=vs-2022) for details).
- Run `make release`, or the commands listed in the previous section.

You can also build within Visual Studio, as long as you run `make release` first (or `make debug`), and then use [the CMake plugin](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmake-projects-in-visual-studio).
