+# Quickstart: Building with CMake
+
+This tutorial aims to get you up and running with GoogleTest using CMake. If
+you're using GoogleTest for the first time or need a refresher, we recommend
+this tutorial as a starting point. If your project uses Bazel, see the
+[Quickstart for Bazel](quickstart-bazel.md) instead.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To complete this tutorial, you'll need:
+
+*   A compatible operating system (e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows).
+*   A compatible C++ compiler that supports at least C++14.
+*   [CMake](https://cmake.org/) and a compatible build tool for building the
+    project.
+    *   Compatible build tools include
+        [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/),
+        [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/), and others - see
+        [CMake Generators](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html)
+        for more information.
+
+See [Supported Platforms](platforms.md) for more information about platforms
+compatible with GoogleTest.
+
+If you don't already have CMake installed, see the
+[CMake installation guide](https://cmake.org/install).
+
+{: .callout .note}
+Note: The terminal commands in this tutorial show a Unix shell prompt, but the
+commands work on the Windows command line as well.
+
+## Set up a project
+
+CMake uses a file named `CMakeLists.txt` to configure the build system for a
+project. You'll use this file to set up your project and declare a dependency on
+GoogleTest.
+
+First, create a directory for your project:
+
+```
+$ mkdir my_project && cd my_project
+```
+
+Next, you'll create the `CMakeLists.txt` file and declare a dependency on
+GoogleTest. There are many ways to express dependencies in the CMake ecosystem;
+in this quickstart, you'll use the
+[`FetchContent` CMake module](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html).
+To do this, in your project directory (`my_project`), create a file named
+`CMakeLists.txt` with the following contents:
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
+project(my_project)
+
+# GoogleTest requires at least C++14
+set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
+set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
+
+include(FetchContent)
+FetchContent_Declare(
+  googletest
+  URL https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/03597a01ee50ed33e9dfd640b249b4be3799d395.zip
+)
+# For Windows: Prevent overriding the parent project's compiler/linker settings
+set(gtest_force_shared_crt ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
+FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)
+```
+
+The above configuration declares a dependency on GoogleTest which is downloaded
+from GitHub. In the above example, `03597a01ee50ed33e9dfd640b249b4be3799d395` is
+the Git commit hash of the GoogleTest version to use; we recommend updating the
+hash often to point to the latest version.
+
+For more information about how to create `CMakeLists.txt` files, see the
+[CMake Tutorial](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/index.html).
+
+## Create and run a binary
+
+With GoogleTest declared as a dependency, you can use GoogleTest code within
+your own project.
+
+As an example, create a file named `hello_test.cc` in your `my_project`
+directory with the following contents:
+
+```cpp
+#include <gtest/gtest.h>
+
+// Demonstrate some basic assertions.
+TEST(HelloTest, BasicAssertions) {
+  // Expect two strings not to be equal.
+  EXPECT_STRNE("hello", "world");
+  // Expect equality.
+  EXPECT_EQ(7 * 6, 42);
+}
+```
+
+GoogleTest provides [assertions](primer.md#assertions) that you use to test the
+behavior of your code. The above sample includes the main GoogleTest header file
+and demonstrates some basic assertions.
+
+To build the code, add the following to the end of your `CMakeLists.txt` file:
+
+```cmake
+enable_testing()
+
+add_executable(
+  hello_test
+  hello_test.cc
+)
+target_link_libraries(
+  hello_test
+  GTest::gtest_main
+)
+
+include(GoogleTest)
+gtest_discover_tests(hello_test)
+```
+
+The above configuration enables testing in CMake, declares the C++ test binary
+you want to build (`hello_test`), and links it to GoogleTest (`gtest_main`). The
+last two lines enable CMake's test runner to discover the tests included in the
+binary, using the
+[`GoogleTest` CMake module](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/git-stage/module/GoogleTest.html).
+
+Now you can build and run your test:
+
+<pre>
+<strong>my_project$ cmake -S . -B build</strong>
+-- The C compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1
+-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1
+...
+-- Build files have been written to: .../my_project/build
+
+<strong>my_project$ cmake --build build</strong>
+Scanning dependencies of target gtest
+...
+[100%] Built target gmock_main
+
+<strong>my_project$ cd build && ctest</strong>
+Test project .../my_project/build
+    Start 1: HelloTest.BasicAssertions
+1/1 Test #1: HelloTest.BasicAssertions ........   Passed    0.00 sec
+
+100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1
+
+Total Test time (real) =   0.01 sec
+</pre>
+
+Congratulations! You've successfully built and run a test binary using
+GoogleTest.
